KINGS of COMMAGENE. Epiphanes & Kallinikos. AD 72. Æ 18mm (7.93 g, 1h). Laranda mint. Epiphanes and Kallinikos on horseback left / Capricorn right; star above, anchor below; all within wreath. RPC I 3535 (Antiochos IV Epiphanes) = von Aulock,
Lykaoniens 11 (same dies); AC 228 (same dies). VF, green patina with earthen deposits. Very well centered. Extremely rare.
Oddly, Nercessian cites one known specimen for this type, the Wells specimen in RIC and von Aulock, but the plated example is not the same coin and does not appear to be a cast.
