NOTE: This coin is an ancient counterfit. It is struck, not cast, and if one looks at the obverse, the legend and portrait are mirror-imaged. The die engraver must have been looking at an official piece and neglected to mirror-image the die. The reverse die is correct, although the portrait and lettering differ from offical style.
