Reverse Legend:     ΜΣΝΑ ΝΩΝΙ / IIII Reverse Description:     Crossed torches within circular border; ΜΣΝΑ ΝΩΝΙ to the sides, denomination mark IIII below between the torches. Primary Reference:     SNG COP 384 Reference2:     Calciati III, 187, 8 Reference3:     SNG München 617 Reference4:     Sear 1129 variety (IIII instead of D) Photograph Credit:     Calgary Coin Source:     http://calgarycoin.com Grade:     F/VF, mid green patina. Notes:     These coins were probably struck just after the Roman conquest of the region. Some specimans have the denomination mark as a Greek delta, others such as this one have it as the Roman numeral IIII. The spelling of the city name appears to be incorrect on this variety, with the I at the end instead of between the A and N. There are other dies with this variety.
