|
"Struck from worn dies and with traces of overstriking" and (nb: after identification in GOD) "This very rare and intriguing stater of Stasioikos I was overstruck on an earlier stater from Salamis, dating back to 480-460 BC. Stasioikos I was king of Marion, one of the smaller city-kingdoms of Cyprus, located in the island's northwest. Many of Marion’s very rare silver coins show signs of overstriking, but it is uncommon for these traces to be as clear as they are here, allowing for a precise identification of the undertype".
