One of the finest known specimens of this extraordinary silver unit, first attributed to Commius by Robert Van Arsdell. The weird little face we see hovering before the slant-eyed moon-head (note the proximity of the nose and parted lips) also occurs on the gold staters of Commius and the Selsey Two-Faced stater.
