Comment
This kind of coins with this very degenerate style, is supposed to come from the hinterland of Marseille.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique stylized design of the goddess Athena on the obverse (front) side, which sets it apart from other coins of the same era and region.
