Bust right / Stele (carved commemorative stone slab)

Comment- Click here for a drawing of the reverse. When I saw this coin it was begging me to look further into it's unusual reverse, with it's simple stick figure of a temple! The city name is around the outside, with one letter in the pediment. The stele announces that this city was granted the title "Neokoros", or temple-warden. (thanks Curtis!) The letters and dotted border are double-struck on the right side.

Comment- This huge thick coin came with an old paper flip on which was hand-written that this coin was mailed to the BM and the attribution was done by Martin J. Price on 2/16/1976. COOL!! This coin is a good candidate for professional cleaning because in-hand I can see all the details are there, under the thick multi-colored lumps.
