The weight of this piece is significantly heavier than SNG BN 408-10, which are closer to 3.25g. Additionally, the obverse style is much closer to the following series featuring the seated Apollo reverse type. BN 419 fits the obverse style and weight, but is of the later reverse type, pointing to a possible hybrid or transitional issue. Very rare and interesting. Very fine, some porosity.Nov 29, 2019
