This reverse type was previously only known for Alexander I Balas (SC 1827, HGC 9, 942), but that reverse is anepigraphic with monograms to either side of the dolphin-entwined trident. The coin has been shown to A. Houghton, O. Hoover, M. Lannin, and Z. Sawaya, all of whom confirm that the coin is previously unknown.
