From the Richard Winokur Collection.This short series of coinage from Oinoanda was apparently struck in three series, each marked with A, B, or G. 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. The obverse die used for this coin was originally used for series 2 didrachms, which have a B on the obverse.
