Definitely a Sear 4943, described in that entry as BMC 18.160,1. Touches up on all the important points of identification. Nice piece. My copy, which is dated 1979, gives a nominal value of £250; forty years later, that's all but meaningless. The MFA entry to which you linked says they forked over over $22K for this and an unknown number of other coins, a meaningless figure when we don't know what other coins those were.

Thank you for answering. Is there any way to locate any recent sales? I know this Tabae drachm is extremely rare because I CANNOT find ANY sales of this type anywhwere CNG, ROMA, NAC, NOMOS etc...Never once has this type sold. Please help

I also think a coin like this has a profound pedigree. The style of Dionysos is superb for the period
