Ex Classical Numismatic Group Electronic Auction 30 (4 June 2001), lot 62792.
As noted in the die study (L-S), this reverse type is closely related to the types with boukranion symbol on the reverse, as both have the full ethnic inscribed below the exergue line. This issue without the symbol, known from one obverse and two reverse dies, appears to be transitional.
