"Undertype easily seen (rotate the reverse 90 deg counterclockwise) with seated Apollo resting an elbow on a kithara behind the throne with the undertype's BASILEOS sharply visible. The reverse also sports (count 'em *two* countermarks, a cornucopia and a Pi-T-O that resembles some similar countermarks seen on Aphrodite-statue-reverse types of Ptolemy III. The undertype isn't as clearly visible on the obverse but it's also certainly overstruck. The only other known specimen of this unusual overstrike/countermark type was published in Catherine Lorber's paper on the Ras Ibn Hani Berenike bronzes but this one appears to be sharper and these large photos reveal the undertype and countermarks more clearly."
