"This coin was overstruck on an earlier issue of Apameia in Syria (HGC 9, 1419): the head of Zeus is still visible on the obverse whereas the reverse shows an elephant standing tothe right and parts of the legend (AΠ[AMEΩN] / TH[Σ IEΡAΣ] - KAI A[ΣΥΛOΥ] / Σ[...]). Unfortunately, the date is not fully readable, but it is likely ΣE = SE 237 = 76/5 BC"
