(outer right monogram); Le Rider, Antioche, p. 52, obv. die unlisted; HGC 9, 247g. A little off center on obverse, area of flat strike on reverse. Good VF.

The monogram on the outer right was off the flan on the example referenced in SC, but here it is visible, and is analogous to that on the tetradrachm SC 580.6a.
