This is a super cool coin with a very unusual depiction on the obverse, appears to be a horse and it is riding on a dolphin. It's hard to believe that in 300- B.C., people had such imagination. The artistry on this coin is excellent, as is the strike. The missing head is not wear, but likely taking some silver off the coin during the original mint due to overweight.This type is uncommon and rarely seen on the market.
