Good VF, brown patina. Extremely rare, one of two known (the other is in the BM). The enigmatic reverse type of this coin has defied any substantially conclusive explanation. Phocaea’s extant foundation mythology does not include this topos, and the civic badge was the seal, rather than the dolphin.
