Price's omission of this type from the issues he placed at Corinth was due to a misreading of H. Troxell's study of the Alexander coins of the Peloponnesos. In her footnote 72, Troxell notes that examples of this issue are obverse die linked to coins that are firmly attributed to Corinth (Price 682).
