Die-links 1–2: same obv. die as 1159/1–2 (Metropolis), 1160/1–6 (Metropolis), 1161/1–3 (Metropolis), 1173/1–5 (Metropolis), 1175/1–4 (Metropolis), 1309/1–3, 1314/1–7, 1317/1–2, 1318/1–4.
Note Schultz, describing the Berlin coin, suggested a reverse legend reading 'ΜΑΓΝΗΤΩ(Ν ΕΠΙ), [... ]'. Visual inspection of the Berlin coin however showed that the inscription is identical to the one of the Elsen coin and that no magistrate name is therefore mentioned here.
