These PX-monogram types are usually described as being struck in an uncertain city in Asia Minor. 4th c. BC, AR hemiobol.
Head of Hera right, wearing ornate stephane.
PX monogram in linear circle.
Ref:Imhoof GM 16 ("Argos"); Winterthur 2212 ("Argos").

Several have been sold over the past 20 years, some have fieldmarks or additional letters such as T-E to left and right, a caduceus or an M below. Some show traced of an undertype on which they were overstruck.
