Good Very Fine.

From the inventory of a German dealer.

The similarities in style and fabric of this coin with those attributed to Onasioikos indicate that it was the first known issue in the name of Stasandros, who has evidently succeeded Onasioikos as king. We can also conclude that the dies for both issues were likely the work of the same engraver(s).
