Make an offer

Head to the right, two lines of hair locks crescent-shaped, the first consisting of 3 locks divided into three smaller ones, the second consisting of crescents ending with a pellet; the cheek in the shape of a crescent moon, two globules over it; the nose and chin prominent. In front, out of field, a lock coming from the forehead; above, an annulet(?), or a torque turned upwards (?)., Androcephalic horse right, helmeted, surmounted by the remains of a helmeted charioteer holding the reins in one hand and holding a torque (or crown?) above the androcephalic horse. A crescent emerges from the horse's mouth. Below, a hand., Very interesting type and quite remarkable for its variety, a rarity despite visible scratches, especially on the reverse. It is not referenced in the Délestrée. In fact, the type of reverse where the charioteer holds a torque is only known for the staters, and not for the divisions. We also note some details on the obverse that are rarely, if ever, found on referenced types, such as the two pellets on the cheek and what appears to be a torque (?) above the profile. A rarity in these already rare and sought-after stater divisions.
