RPC notes only one example of this type – this coin. However, there is a second example known, which was from the Tom Cederlind Estate and was used to illustrate the type in Varbanov. That coin recently sold in Classical Numismatic Group E390, 1 February 2017, 313, and had been offered previously in Cederlind 128, 1 July 2003, 114.
