Commentary
Poids léger. La tête de l’aigle très particulière peut faire penser comme pour le monnayage de Sinope à un rapace marin. Sur cet exemplaire le kappa n’est pas rétrograde.
Lightweight. The head of the very particular eagle can make one think, as with the Sinope coinage, of a marine bird of prey. On this example the kappa is not retrograde
