Laureate head of Zeus right / AMOPIA - ["ΛI" = fragment of magistrate's name?] - NΩN, ethnic beneath and vertically upwards to the right of eagle standing right, wings closed, on thunderbolt, kerikeion over shoulder.. SNG Cop. 113 ff. var.; Cf. SNG Tübingen 3930. Fine, dark olive patina with "dusty" traces of encrustation - tiny spots of incipient BD on obverse..
