| Note | The legend was read C. Car., C. Cos. by Grant, but the punctuation is clear. Grant attributed the coin to Rhodes (and as evidence for a transient and otherwise unknown colony there) because of the rev. type which does look like a rose, but the attribution does not seem very likely. The coin is closely linked, by style and name, with 5402, which Grant attributed to Cyrenaica. |
