While the exact dies are not found in Le Rider's study, the features of the obverse die are similar to dies D43 and D76-77. In particular, the laural crowns on these dies all have a leaf extending diagonally downward both above and below the ear. Also, the hairstyle, "chubby" appearance of the face, and style of the nose and mouth are similar on these dies. It is therefore possible that they are all from the same engraver.
