A rare and highly desirable issue of Salapia, with only two specimens known. This unpublished variety offers an exceptional opportunity to acquire a scarce and apparently unrecorded type. The coin is in VF condition, centrally struck, and confidently attributed. Its rarity is underscored by the strong auction results achieved by comparable examples, including $750 at CNG E-327, lot 123, and £260 for the Anders Collection specimen at Roma Numismatics. An excellent opportunity to acquire a rare and distinctive piece of Greek South Italian coinage.
