Ex Giessener Münzhandlung 48, 2 April 1990, 283 (DM 2000).

This coin has been traditonally dated to 196-146, but this seems to be too early, especially when compared to the widespread issues of the League and given its epigraphic peculiarities. All the letters of the legend on the reverse were made by first punching in guide marks and then connecting them, a way of engraving that seems to be a relatively late feature.
