"Overstruck on Æ of Antigonos Gonatas of the type SNG Cop. 1214-1221, with a little of the undertype showing"  +
"bold traces of undertype still visible including the head of Roma, traces of ROMA and traces of the moneyer's name [T]ER LVC"  +
"Shortly after Actium and the restoration of peace, Athens struck several very large bronze issues, and among them a small proportion of one variety was overstruck on a single variety of Sicyonian bronze, which had been issued at least half a century earlier. [...] Kroll has suggested that the government of Athens might have acquired a group of this specific variety [...] and long retained them before overstriking"  +
“traces of the turtle’s head and upper line of his shell are visible at five o’ clock on the obverse; but none of the incuse on the reverses”  +
David Sear: "A remarkable Macedonian regal drachm overstruck on a denarius of C. Terentius Lucanus that Crawford dates to 147 BC (the dating of which should now be revised to circa 150-148 BC). The evidence of the undertype clearly indicates a date substantially later than the downfall of the Macedonian monarchy, which had ended with the defeat of Perseus by the Roman general L. Aemilius Paullus at Pydna in June of 168 BC. The only logical explanation of the existence of a regal type apparently belonging to the 140s is that the piece represents an issue by the Macedonian pretender Andriskos (‘Philip VI’)"  +
nb: no mention of overstrike (overstruck most likely on Side as the others).  +
"Obv.: above and below, letters (visible on reverse: In field, A and legend; rev.: (visible on obverse: border of dots)"  +
"Besonders bemerkenswert ist das Untergepräge, eine Tetradrachme des Aesillas, von der noch der Lorbeerkranz und der Henkel des fiscus zu erkennen sind"  +
