| RemarksRemarks: | "Ce type est surfrappé sur une unité de type Alexandropoulos 18 frappée vers 400-350 avant J.-C. dont les traces subsistent au droit et au revers. La tête au droit est SURFRAPPÉE sur celle de Tanit et le cheval du revers laisse apparaître les traces du palmier au revers. Ce type semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux" | ||
