Jenkins, Punic, Series 5b, 376-9 var. (O117/R327; unlisted die combination); CNP 272; HGC 2, 295. Toned, worn obverse die. VF. A rare die combination, unrecorded by Jenkins.

From the L.H. Collection. Ex Gorny & Mosch 257 (15 October 2018), lot 222; Lanz 60 (11 June 1992), lot 69.

An interesting new die combination for the series. Based on the progression of the die flaw at 9' on the obverse, this pairing should be placed between Jenkins 378 (O117/R308) and 79 (O117/R309).
