|Remarks=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’)"
