HOH-N6/S7; KM-376.3; DP-Do01. Small Libertad-Staggard ray and Submissive Snake, small planchet. Variety with prominent upper rays very close to the peripheral border.

The surfaces are relatively smooth displaying rich slate patina that is complemented by iridescent sunset hues. This example boasts good eye appeal.
