| RemarksRemarks:
|
"Overstruck on a stater of Side (as Atlan 16, O15(?)/A14) with traces of the lower part of the reverse of the host coin with the neck of Athena still visible on the lower part of the present reverse. If we accept the lower chronology of 440-430 for the Side undertype, we can date this coin and this series to the 430s and possibly around the middle of the decade"
