Note The thunderbolt seems to be a pseudo-countermark already engraved on the die (a suggestion of P. Haug); another specimen now in L (ex Thackray: 19 mm, 5.22 g, axis: 6): could the letters be ΑΡ? The Künker specimen clearly shows a third letter: I?, so the date 130 (ΛΡ) must probably be misinterpreted.
