SB 836 Good Fine. Scarce. Dark brown patina with some coppery high points. Very unusual ragged flan. Off-center. A scarce mint for the type. This example is struck on a highly unusual, ragged flan; we have not found another example so crude. Though much of the mintmark is missing and the first letter is so crudely engraved that it is nearly illegible, the style of the obverse and the overall crude manufacture indicate Nicomedia. An interesting example.
