Burrell, Neokoroi, p. 249 type 6. ΑΛƐΞΑΝ is clear on https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coin/242542, but has been much tooled; the first letters are clear on https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coin/243733; there seem to be traces of the same word on the less well-preserved but untouched https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coin/242627. See https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/type/66295 (Septimius Severus) for a similar conical stone
