Very rare, unpublished issue.

From the collection of Will Gordon.

Price lists two issues with a grape bunch as the sole control mark in the left field: 589 (Pella) and 947 (Dionysopolis). Both of those are parts of larger series to which additional symbols are added, and each have highly consistent styles. The style of the present coin, however, is significantly different from those series, but is very similar to a group of issues that have a single control symbol in the left field that is given to an uncertain mint in western Asia Minor (for details, see Seleucus I Hoard p. 75 and nos. 1000–05, as well as CNG 84, lot 296).
