Limited wear but considerable porosity accounting for flattened nose and a couple of other blemishes, yet they still reveal a somewhat unusual facing portrait of Artemis in fine style, along with the unmistakable reverse design, with even the horns (ever so subtly) showing. Absent from the references consulted, this denomination is characteristic for its small size, as well as the combination of a facing Artemis and bull to right.
