"overstruck on a much earlier Corinthian-type stater (outline of the helmeted head of Athena visible on reverse)"  +
"Overstruck on a coin of Antigonos II Gonatas(?), with the head of Herakles visible on the obverse."  +
"Overstruck on an Antioch on the Orontes mint tetradrachm of Antiochos VII Euergetes (Sidetes) (SC 2061.2)"  +
"This coin was overstruck on a tetradrachm of the former overlords of Charakene, the Seleukids, as one can faintly read [...]TIOXOY across Herakles' head on the reverse. Which of the Seleukid kings named Antiochos the coin belonged to is difficult to say, but the most likely candicate is Antiochos IV, since the lines across Herakles' body likely derive from a seated Zeus figure, and the traces of the undertype on the obverse resemble his large portrait with curly hair. Another possibility would be Antiochos VIII, who was a near contemporary of Apodakos, but his coinage saw far less circulation in the East due to the collapse of Seleukid imperial control in the 140s and 130s BC, and his portrait is usually much smaller than that of Antiochos IV." (nb: not Antiochus IV and the Zeus aetophoros but Antiochus VII as elsewhere: see the lambda between the omikron of the legend and the hand of Athena)  +
"Traces of overstriking" (nb: part of the legend and the laurel wreath is still visible on the reverse)  +
"Overstruck on uncertain Alexandrine undertype" (nb: slight traces of overstriking on the reverse)  +
"Overstruck on a Seleukid tetradrachm" (nb: laurel wreath and letters EΩΣ still visible on the reverse but then likely not to be the Athena type of Antiochus VII)  +
"Overstruck on an uncertain Hellenistic royal type" (nb: part of the legend BAΣΙΛΕΩΣ∕ ANTIOXOY and of the laurel wreath still visible on the reverse)  +
