ACHAIA, Aigeira. Circa 370-330 BC. Æ Chalkous (2.30 g, 1h). Helmeted head of Athena right / Forepart of goat right; AI below, Γ before; all within wreath. BCD Peloponnesos 392 var. (ethnic); SNG Copenhagen -; BMC -; Traité -; Pozzi -; Weber -; McClean -; Lindgren -. Near VF, rough dark green patina. This variety unpublished in the standard references.

Ex BCD Collection (not in LHS sale); Burgan FPL (January 1985), no. 74 (part of).

The AI of the ethnic is only barely visible, but the Γ is prominently displayed on the right side of the coin, running along a leaf in the wreath. There is no indication of the final I usually found on these, and the placement of the Γ makes the presence of the I unlikely.
