Picard did not know of this coin which seems to be the only specimen extant. RPC suggests there might be another letter or symbol next to the A on the reverse but close examination of the coin has shown this to be the end tip of Hera's belt. In addition, winning bids of EEC clients for this coin are subject to a 5% fee on hammer price as a reimbursement for import duty paid to HMRC.
