Note The second part of the reverse legend has not been explained properly: see G.F. Hill in BMC, p. xcii: "Possibly some local name (a festival ? as the inscription is in a wreath) is contained in the letters ΤΟΚΑΠΟΥϹ." Leschhorn, Lexicon offers, without explanation, "ΤΟ ΚΑΛΛΟϹ? ƐΧΟΥϹΑ", and the letter between Α and Ο is indeed unclear. Forrer, Weber, followed the BMC reading, without comment.
