"This coin is overstruck on an earlier obol of undetermined origin; the profile of a bust l. can be seen facing 9 o'clock on the reverse. The cataloguers have not previously seen an overstruck coin in this series."  +

"It appears to be overstruck on an earlier Odessos issue of Alexander the Great (like Price 1168) struck from 280 - 200 B.C.E. and was taken back into the mint for restriking. Looking at Zeus on the reverse across the left side of his shoulder to chest, one can see the KOI mintmark of the earlier issue. Traces of other letters can also be seen" (nb: David MacDonald: The seller thinks this is struck over an earlier Odessos.  I think this is wrong and that the host coin was an Athenian New Style: yes 131/130 BC Thompson 396c).  +
overstruck on undetermined type (Ares/Sword?)  +
"Interestingly, this coin is overstruck on a tetradrachm of Antiochos IV 175-164 with seated Zeus reverse (cf.
