    My last purchase of 2022 arrived a couple of days ago. In the meantime, I've done some research on it and cataloged it into my collection. I got it at auction from Agora Auctions (Sale 108, Lot 007) at what I believe to be a decent price even after shipping and fees.

    A very good specimen of beautiful classical style. The flowing haired river-god is one of the nicest I have seen on this kind of coin... :woot:
