Note Confirmation required: the attribution to Codrula does not seem certain. The portrait is not like anything else at Codrula, the reverse type is not typical for Codrula, and it would be possible to read the reverse legend differently. However, none of the obvious other possibilities (Midaeum, Magydus, Attuda) really fits with the visible traces. Johnston (CE, p. 141) compared the portrait to coins of Etenna (vA Pisid. 2, 550).
