Note probably ex Curtis: ‘Demeter standing r. crowned with crescent, r. hand on torch, corn ears in l., Agathodaemon r. by feet: i.f. LK A’; obv. ‘J1k2’: Curtis’ annotated copy of Milne. There is no sign of an ‘Agathodaemon’ on any of the other coins with this design, although none of them is in very good condition
