Note Original comment: "P. Thackray suggests an attribution to Attuda, reading ΑΤΤΟΥΔΕΩΝ on the reverse, but this is not clear." The new specimens indicte that there was no legend on the reverse. The original date of the coins are quite uncertain; the look of the fabric suggests that they are pre-imperial.
