Dear Joe and Board,

No picture yet, but perhaps the attached page photos would be of service to you (from David MacDonald's Overstruck Greek Coins [2009])?

Hope this helps a little as well!

Hello again Joe, Board,

For the undertype, I can read "ΟΧΟΥ" on the obverse of the Lysimacheia overtype, so I am thinking the identity of the host coin is another Seleucid piece of a similar, if not identical, type as the two two specimens described in Mac's book.  Perhaps he can comment further, if he sees this thread.


Best regards,

Many of these coins from Lysimacheia are overstruck on bronzes with Apollo and tripod made under Antiochos II.
See e.g. Melih Arslan, "Kirklareli Müzesi'ndeki Asilbeyli Lysimachia Definesi", BELLETEN, 263, 2008, pp. 6-52: https://dergipark.org.tr/tr/download/article-file/977645
