Ex. Lanz 150 (13.12.2010) lot 98.
The majority of the coins of "Apollonia" were overstruck. As planchets were used coins issued by Ptolemy Keraunos, (SNG ANS 224-226) eldest son of Ptolemy I of Egypt, and for a limited time King of Macedon (281-279). These coins were wrongly attributed to Paroreia by misinterpretation of the monogram on the reverse.
