The deals were fast and FVRIVS two weeks back and I found myself winning things I don't generally collect !
Like LRB's and Sicilian bronzes.

I won't complain .......

Attribution is still tentative but I believe this is correct

AKP-AGANT[IN]-ON, eagle, with head raised, standing left on fish
Crab holding a serpent in its left claw, conch and cuttle fish below six pellets around.
