Notes 

This tetradrachm has a suspicious appearance, full of tiny holes of trapped air bubbles, strange lettering style; but it has a nice smooth surface and worn appearance. It has some minor differences and many similarities to the coin catalogued prior to it (A41-P104a), London, the British Museum coin.
