Extremely rare and possibly unique. Somewhat porous, otherwise, very fine. From the Dr. Paul Peter Urone Collection and the Johnathan P. Rosen Collection, ex Numismatic Fine Arts, 18 October 1990, 777; Numismatic Fine Arts 2, 25 March 1976, 230. The attribution to a mint is Caria is only tentative.
