Good Very Fine. Very rare Greek test strike.
From the collection of a gentleman, acquired on the London art market in the 1990s.
It has been suggested that such Greek lead test strikes were made by itinerant engravers in an effort to sell their services to cities that produced coins, much like modern coin patterns, which are made by artists to help officials visualise a coin before it is approved for production.
