Wreathed head of Tanit left, wearing necklace with nine pendants / Horse standing right on double exergue line; pellet to lower right. Jenkins & Lewis Group V, 246 corr. (no pellets above back; same dies); CNP 2.10a = 2.10b corr. (same); MAA 10; SNG Copenhagen –. VF, toned, light graffiti on reverse.

Ex Gorny & Mosch 164 (17 March 2008), lot 286.

Jenkins & Lewis note that there are supposed to be two pellets above the back of the horse on their no. 246, but these are not visible on any of the three pieces they illustrate, and none are visible on the present coin. CNP also questioned J&L’s reading, as a question mark is placed after that part of the description of the variety. Thus, CNP 2.10b does not exist as a separate variety; these coins belong to CNP 2.10a.
