Public Commentary

Diese Münze wird in Paris Imbros zugewiesen, es bleibt unklar, ob das Rückseitenbild Zeus oder Orthanes zeigt, ebenso bleibt die Datierung unsicher. This coin is assigned to Imbros in Paris, it remains unclear whether the reverse image shows Zeus or Orthanes, as well as the dating remains uncertain.
