Note The identification seems sure in view of the way that one head is laureate and the other bare. See also S2-I-2431A for a coin with the name Nemeonikos, showing that the translation given in RPC II (Nemean victor) is incorrect and the word should just be regarded as a name.
Correction Corrected coin-type (post publication)
