HGC-5, 398 (same obv. die as illustration); BCD Olympia-163 (same obv. die); Seltman-353a (dies FJ/κε; this coin) = JIAN XIV, 1912, p. 27, no. 2003, pl. ζ, 29 (this coin). Obverse: Head of Hera right, wearing stephane reading FΑΛΕΩΝ; Reverse: Eagle, with wings spread and head right, standing left; F to left; all within wreath. Entrancing in both strike and beauty, this piece is displayed upon immaculate surfaces free from problems. A dark tone besets this specimen, and some even wear is evident, giving this beauty an original appearance. Undoubtedly, an example that is sure to entrance when it crosses in front of the auctioneer's podium. An exceptional piece pedigreed to the collection of Helena Mavrogordatos, one of the early female coin collectors in Greece.
