EΠI ΔEONYOΣ Grape vine with four bunches of grapes within linear square; around inscription; all within shallow incuse square. Schönert-Geiss - (but same reverse die as 155). Extremely rare with this obverse symbol, and very nicely toned. Good very fine.

The name Deonyos is very uncommon: it only appears on coins from Abdera and Maroneia and is very probably of northern Greek or Thracian origin.
