Ex Kirk Davis FPL 27, August 1999, 53 ($375).

A note from BCD: Kirk always surprises me with his neat and attractive coins; when I saw this one in his list I could not resist it. Its style is so different from the earlier League drachms, and yet this late Hellenistic Apollo reveals the rare sensitivity of a supremely gifted artist.
