Staters of Casabonne Series 2 were struck with either the city ethnic, the name of Tiribazos, or without any ethnic, as this coin. None of Casabonne's subgroups for Series 2 list the anepigraphic variety, but the Levante coin is listed in group Da. SNG Levante attributed them to Mallos (followed by Casabonne), however, an example in CNG 69, lot 830, from the same obverse die as this coin, had a faint remnant of the ethnic of Soloi visible on the reverse.
