Here's a new one I like very much. The detail on the tripod attracted me to it. https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=49358&pid=173347#top_display_media

Geat coin of Bottiaia, Mark.  I just happened to have received my SNG Ashmolean Part III Macedonia, where it's listed as #3289.  Another reference: SNG Cop 2 (Macedonia) #136. 

I have one with a ΘE monogram. I was surprised to see that another one, similar to yours, was missing from my FAC gallery. I've now loaded that one to my Macedonian page.
