Notes

• Unpublished in SC. A possible variant of SC 706 with the usual obverse head of Apollo replaced with the portrait of Seleucus II. The mint attribution is tentative as it is based solely on the fact that the ΔEΛ mint is the only facitilty known to have employed a left charging bull reverse type for denomination B.
