Serpent coiled around egg (?)
23mm x 24mm, 8.48g
SNG Levante-Cilicia 1758-1759
Note: SNG describes this reverse as "Serpent coiled around egg from which bottom it seems that forepart of turtle is getting out (forelegs and
head visible)", however, it seems much more like a baetyl to me with the end of the serpent showing at the bottom instead of a turtle hatching
from an egg.
