Comments

(en)

The letter A that can be read in the folds of the goddess's veil is the engraver's signature; it can be compared to the letters A inscribed on a ribbon of Artemis's headdress, on the obverse of certain tetradrachms from Eretria.

On the reverse, the issue is signed by the three letters ΘΞΕ, which could be the initials of three moneyers, but which could also be the abbreviation of a name such as Θεοξενος.
