 QRA, same obverse die); Müller 358 var. (same). Good VF. An unrecorded variety. ($1500)

This issue in the name of Lysimachos is characterized by the 
symbol of a bull kneeling left, rather than butting. It was 
attributed by Seyrig to Kalchedon because one variety of the 
issue has the letter K on the throne.
