Near Extremely Fine; die flaw to top edge, wonderful late Archaic style.
It has been persuasively argued by S. Psoma that the coinage previously attributed to Lete and/or Siris is probably from Berge (cf. S. Psoma, 'The "Lete" Coinage Reconsidered' in Agoranomia. Studies in Money and Exchange Presented to John H. Kroll, (2006) pp. 61-85).
