CRETE, Polyrhenion. Circa 320-270 BC. Æ (10mm, 1.31 g). Round shield / Vertical spearhead within incuse circle. Svoronos,
Numismatique 31 var. (Π-Ο to either side of spearhead); SNG Copenhagen 531 var. (same). Near VF, green and red patina. Rare.
As the reverse is struck off center on this coin, it is possible that there is a Π to the left of the spearhead, but the O is not visible at all to the right.
