KOMMAΓHNΩN Capricorn to right; star above, anchor below; all within wreath. Kovacs 256. RPC I 3855. Struck on a somewhat short flan and with light deposits, otherwise, nearly very fine.


This curious piece was struck with the regular dies of a tetrachalkon, but on a much smaller flan. We may be dealing with a minting error or perhaps an unrecorded denomination for this issue.
