"Traces of overstriking were noted in the description of the CNG piece but the host coin could not be identified. On our coin, however, it is possible to distinguish a small dolphin at 4 o'clock on the obverse. This remnant of the undertype strongly suggests that the host coin is a Syracusan litra struck under Dionysios I, which sometimes featured dolphins around the obverse head of Athena (CNS 44; Nomos 27, lot 1049) and was struck to the same standard and employed cast flans similar to that of the present piece."  +
"Overstruck on a Corinthian type stater. The profile of Athena from a Corinthian type stater is partially visible on the reverse on the wing of the eagle"  +
"Overstruck on a Syracusan hemidrachm of the 'Zeus Eleutherios/Thunderbolt' type (HGC 2, 1440)"  +
"Not only is this piece remarkable for the mysterious wreathed head on the reverse that stands in the place of the usual head of Athena on Sidetan staters, it also appears to have been overstruck on a contemporary stater of Aspendos. The undertype of what appears to be a triskeles of human legs within an incuse square can be seen on the obverse. For Aspendian issues with this reverse type, see SNG Paris 1-13."  +
"This coin was overstruck on a civic bronze coin from Arados with the veiled bust of Astarte on the obverse and a bull on the reverse"  +
"Judging from the distinct remnants of an incusum on the obverse, this coin was clearly overstruck on a turtle-stater from Aegina"  +
"Traces of overstriking ...The undertype of this issue of Baalmelek II is an extremely rare stater by the uncertain king Mo... from Amathos, featuring an eagle above a recumbent lion on the obverse and the forepart of a lion on the reverse (see Leu 5 (2019), 192)."  +
"Overstruck on an issue of Timarchos (HGC 9, 761), with his helmet visible on the reverse, and the forepart of the horses and spears of the Dioskouroi visible on the obverse. Good VF. Very rare. This tetradrachm is from the earliest issue of Demetrios I at Seleukia, which celebrates his marriage to Laodike. As noted in SC, the first of these coins were overstruck on tetradrachms of Timarchos, who had been recently defeated by Demetrios".  +
undertype attributed to Cumae by S.P. Noe and to Metapontum on the BM website.  +
