Commentary


Monétaire Démétrios. Même coin de droit que l’exemplaire du trésor de Kirikhan (Oakley pl. 1, n° 4b). Cet exemplaire provient très certainement du trésor de Kirikhan
.
Demetrius Coin. Same obverse die as the example from the Kirikhan hoard (Oakley pl. 1, no. 4b). This example most likely comes from the Kirikhan hoard.
