Comment
RW, JLR: Middle-denomination bronze coins of Ptolemy III occur not uncommonly at sites in the northastern Peloponnese. C. C. Lorber (CPtolEmpI.2) has identified this hemiobol type as an issue of Corinth.
Wear: P/aG. Several small chips around margin; sparse, slight to moderate pitting and on reverse several deep pits, or cratering especially around outside. Small, thin, rare patches of bluish green bronze disease on both faces.
