What is this coin?

Collector and buyer details
This offering is one holdered coin, not a group of coins shown in a representative photograph. Confirm the available coin, holder label and reverse before ordering.
The supplier’s LG designation is not expanded into a wear grade here. The actual label, strike and surface assessments, when present, apply to the selected specimen.
Ancient coins vary in centering, strike, wear, toning and surviving inscription. The supplier’s silver description does not establish pure silver or a measured fineness; do not calculate a bullion value from the holder/package weight.
NGC’s ancient-coin terms distinguish its grade guarantee from opinions about authenticity and attribution. Read the applicable terms and the Store’s condition and authenticity policy.
