Quadripartite incuse square. Bodenstedt 88 (dies a/α). SNG von Aulock 7952. A lovely coin with a finely centered obverse, beautifully toned. About extremely fine.



The head of Hera with an ornamental stephane is very similar to the heads that appear on the coinage of Olympia during the late 5th and early 4th centuries.
