Nike on prow of galley left, blowing trumpet / Poseidon Pelagaios throwing trident left; monogram to left, labrys to right. Newell 66 corr. (dies LVII/104). Good VF. Well centered and struck.

The Copenhagen specimen was Newell’s sole example for his issue 66, and was so poorly preserved that the control marks were misread.
