Extremely rare and undoubtedly the finest known example. Extremely fine.

The pseudo-autonomous coinage of Ococleia is of extreme rarity: von Aulock knew of just three examples in two types, of which ours can be dated to circa 177-192 through the name of Kl. Kalobrotos, who also appears - as asiarch - on a coin of Commodus as Augustus. Kalobrotos is the only magistrate name attested in the entire coinage from Ococleia
