From MacDonald (p. 112): "In 561 BE = AD 264/265, the denomination mark I (= 10) appeared on staters. The mark continued into the next year, when it was replaced by the denomination mark K (= 20), which continued to appear through BE 654 = 267/268. Many K denominations staters are struck over the earlier I denomination staters."
