Primary Reference:     Ashton, Oinoanda 2a (A2/P1 - this coin, illustrated), otherwise unpublished Photograph Credit:     Classical Numismatic Group Source:     http://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=117820 Grade:     EF, lightly toned, short hairline flan crack Notes:     Beautifully centered and well struck from dies of fine style Ex Gorny & Mosch 117 (14 October 2002), lot 303.This short series of coinage from Oinoanda was apparently struck in three series, each marked with A, B, or Γ. Originally these letters were thought to represent dates on a local era, but Ashton’s study shows this is far from conclusive, regardless that they were struck sequentially. Those marked with A are the rarest, with only four known.
