Additional data

Frequency of overstrikesFrequency of overstrikes:	frequent	Level of confidenceLevel of confidence of the identification:
RemarksRemarks:	"There are traces of the undertype visible, but none are distinct enough to suggest a particular issue, save for what appears to be the tail of a dolphin or hippocamp near the edge on the obverse, at the forehead of Herakles. The undertype must be of a similar weight standard. The only issue that seems to fit is the Ibero-Punic shekel with a male head on the obverse and a reverse featuring a prow facing right, below which a dolphin swims right (ACIP 543)."
