Pr-Unlisted. Obverse: Helmeted head of Athena right; Reverse: Nike standing left, holding wreath and palm frond; no other symbols present. Though Price lists a handful of Staters without symbols on their respective reverses, this particular specimen stands out in that Nike is holding a palm frond rather than the expected stylis.
