|Remarks="Overstruck on a tetradrachm of the First Meris from the Roman Protectorate of Macedon (thunderbolt and M are visible)" "The Macedonian tetradrachms were struck on the Attic standard, so approximately 3-4 grams had to be cut from this undertype before it was restruck on the cistophoric standard"
