Hey everyone. Just wanted to check if anyone has seen another example of this coin.

It is stated to be a Tetrobol of the Macedonian Chalkidian League minted in Olynthos. I searched previous sales of a number of places and searched wildwinds but can't find another example of this type. By the way comments on it would be welcome.

It is in Richard Plant's book "Greek Coin Types and their Identification" which I recommend. No 1504 but the coin is described as being 33g.
