As well as bearing the little-used kerykeion symbol below the throne, which Price attributes to Kolophon, this drachm has in the left field a monogram he lists as noted on a drachm from the collection of A. von Prokesch-Osten, though he was unable to view the coin himself and any associated symbols are not known.
