"Host: Tenedos tetradrachm Obv. Janiform heads - left head bearded male wearing laurel wreath, right head female wearing stephane. Rx. Laurel wreath encircling double axe; above, TENEΔIΩN; in lower left field, grapes and monogram; in lower right field, symbol. F. de Callatay, "Les monnaies hellenistiques en argent de Tenedos," pp. 99-104 and pl. 24-28, in R. Ashton and S. Hurter, eds., "Studies in Greek Numismatics in Memory of Martin Jessop Price" (London, 1998). Note: The tetradrachms of Maroneia often show slight but definite signs of overstriking, but only rarely are the host coins identifiable. The circulating areas of the tetradrachms of Thasos/Maroneia and Tenedos tetradrachms probably abutted one another, leading to the movement of some coins from each area into the other, yet it seems that the foreign coins were not a regular part of the local circulating media, hence the overstriking of each type on the other."
