Note Demetrio 2389 is described as year 5, and is engraved on plate XX. K. Emmett points out that a broken legend is wrong for year 5, and a comparison between https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coin/241340 and the illustration given by Feuardent shows that they are the same coin (compare the flans), which has been misread in the engraving. There is no sign of a ticket in A for 2389, and A 6758 is at present (2014, 2016) among the coins of Soaemias.
