Commentary
Ce monnayage semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. C’e!/st la première fois que nous proposons un exemplaire de ce type .
This coinage seems much rarer than general works suggest. This is the first time that we have offered a example of this type.

Historical background
IONIA - LEBEDOS (PTOLEMAIS)
(3rd century BC)
Lebedos was a very old coastal city in Asia Minor, located about forty kilometers from Ephesus. During the Hellenistic period, it fell under Lagide influence and took the name of Potlémaïs. On the death of Ptolemy IV (204 BC) the city regained its independence which it retained after the Peace of Apamea I.
