Note Some of the coins listed under Martin 12 belong to her type 11 (Antonine period, https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/4/9223). Martin describes the type as 'Demeter mit Fackel und Ährenbund', which is clearly the case of the Antonine coins, but these coins here seem to show a patera and a sceptre.
