You can see the cited page of JIAN 1903 here: https://archive.org/stream/journalinternati67sboruoft#page/n203/mode/2up
but unfortunately this coin is not illustrated 
.
I did a little research to find this type in other collections being online, but I didn't succeed 
. This seems to be a really rare coin.

Hi Altamura,
I was about to post the exactly same thing when I saw your apparently
almost simultaneous message. I also found the archive.org
JIAN file and was
in the process of reading the text
part, but as you say, no images.
However, as it was already after 3am here, I was too tired to compose and
send a reply. This will belatedly have to do instead! At least I am a little
more awake and alert now - to some extent! Hehe
I suspect that the
Mavromichaelis Collection is now in
Athens (or dispered?),
but can anyone confirm that, or know differently?
With regard to the coins itself, however, I would prefer to get some sort of
match with an image - somehow - before confirming anything one way or
the other. Tabae is
good for the moment, and the most likely candidate for
now, but I think you will agree that some room for doubt remains. Even if the
details as listed in the
JIAN are accurate, does that necessarily mean that
Svoronos was correct in
his attribution of the item. Especially given that the
ethnic "T-A" equally applies to coins from Temnos. I have to wonder what it
was, specifically, that lead him to Tabae. Lots of questions!
I missed it this time around, but at least I have a better idea of what it may
be if ever a similar one
comes up again. On the positive
side of things, I was
fortunate enough to get another nice - and
rare! - piece that was also listed
as being unidentified. I will save that post for when I get the coin in hand.
All the best,
Walter
