Burrer, MA–G 14 = BCD Thessaly II 967.5 (same obv. die as 967.2, a triassarion). VF, dark green patina, roughness. Rare.
From the BCD Collection.
A note from BCD from the Triton sale: The warrior reverses were few and far between in the Thessalian Provincial series. One wonders what was the the reason for their appearance as they do not seem to signal a change in the standard denominations.
