Exteremely rare: Vlasto cites example 537 (which obverse for this author is from the same die of 536, with added star and a large flaw on horse's tail) as unique. After careful observation we can say that the obverse die of 537 is not the same as that of 536, in fact it presents details that differentiate it: in addition to the aforementioned star (which for Vlasto is added to the previous die) also the detail of the crest of the helmet and of the inclination of the javelin. For another specimen see: Gorny & Mosch, Auction 147, lot 1086.
