AEOLIS, Kyme. Circa 155-143 BC. AR Tetradrachm (31.5mm, 16.60 g, 12h). Stephanophoric type. Metrophanes, magistrate. Head of the Amazon Kyme right, wearing tainia / Horse prancing right; one-handled cup below raised foreleg, MHTPOΦANHΣ below; all within wreath. Oakley obv. die 13 (unlisted for magistrate); SNG Copenhagen 104; CNG E-388, lot 112 (same obv. die). Lightly tone, some deposits, area of weak strike, die break on reverse. Near EF.

Oakley attested obverse die 13 for the magistrate Kallias, but not Metrophanes. However, Oakley did note that obverse die 12 was used by both magistrates, so it is not unexpected for other shared dies to be found.
