Scarce and artistic miniature Cilician piece. Unfortunately, it does display some surface problems - corrosion and (probably consequent) chipping/lamination in some areas; this might even suggest a fourree with a base core, though the Levante plate coin's (CNG 64, lot 351; sold for $213 total; same basic grade but less surface problems) lower weight of 0.61g makes that less likely. Ex-Spink and son.
