NOTES: Similar Auctioned CNG 84, Lot 569 With Estimate Of $200 usd And Hammer Price Of $800 usd Not Included Buyers Fees. Described as: extremely rare, only two examples known to Frolova (both in the Hermitage). From the Alex Shubs Collection. Both of the Hermitage coins are fairly worn on the obverse, so the identity of the deity is uncertain; Frolova identifies him as Herakles, while MacDonald posits that it is Apollo (and laureate). Unfortunately, this example cannot clarify the matter. //
