Frequency of overstrikesFrequency of overstrikes:	rare and spread	Level of confidenceLevel of confidence of the identification:	sure
RemarksRemarks:	"Clearly overstruck on a drachm of Rhegium (of Herzfelder type 105-116). This coin is possibly the only one overstruck on this type"; "The types of the Kampanoi are struck over a clearly recognisable drachm of Rhegion (cf. Herzfelder 105-116). When Lee produced his corpus the Rhegiontine under type was unknown: it would be interesting to try ascertain whether the reverse die used for this coin was also used for the rare bronzes struck at the same time (as Buceti 9)."
