Museum Berlin, Staatliche Museen (Germany)
Inventory no. 18260421, 1875 Prokesch-Osten
Reference Lederer, ZfN 179, no. 1
Diameter 23
Weight 8.42
Axis 12
Note Lederer dated the coin to the first century BC and read the l. field as ΚΛ; the Λ does not indeed have a cross bar, but nor do the A's in ΓΑΒΑΛΕΩΝ, so a reading ΚΛ = 21 seems plausible.
