Commentary
Au revers de notre exemplaire, la première lettre n’est pas un pi, mais un epsilon. Pourrait-on avoir un autre cité que Paleis qui ait monnayé avec les mêmes types ?.
On the reverse of our example, the first letter is not a pi, but an epsilon. Could there be another city other than Paleis that minted with the same types?

Historical background
ELLIS ISLANDS - KEPHALLENIA - PALEIS (PALE)
(4th - 2nd century BC)
The city of Paleis was supposed to have been founded by Peleus, the son of Cephalos, the eponymous hero of Cephallenia. The city was located in an agricultural valley surmounted by an acropolis. The city seems to have belonged to the League of Delos and the second Athenian thalassocracy. The city joined the Aetolian League from 224 BC It resisted the siege undertaken by Philip V of Macedon. After the defeat of Thermopylae in 191 BC, it submitted to the Romans and was integrated into the province of Macedonia in 146 BC.
