From the BCD Collection.

This coin is of a very different style and fabric than both the one cited above and lot 38 below. BCD suspects the engraver of the obverse die for the current coin may be the same individual responsible for the dies used to strike a unique hemidrachm sold in Nomos 4 (BCD Thessaly I 1048).
