HGC-6, 331; Le Rider-2. Obverse: Ithyphallic satyr advancing right, carrying off protesting nymph; Reverse: Quadripartite incuse square. Quite intense and impressive, this archaic issue is wholly deserving of its star designation for exceptional, outstanding eye appeal, as the strike is extremely well centered and bold, and the cabinet nature of the toning adds even further charm.
