RIC-17; RSC-24A. Obverse: Bare head right; Reverse: Victory standing left on globus, holding wreath and palm frond.

Compare to a similar portrait piece in our 2022 Global Showcase auction (an NGC Ch AU, Strike: 4/5 Surface: 3/5) that realized a total of $18,000 [!] (Lot # 33099).

Estimate: $2000 - $4000
