| Additional information |
This piece belongs to the New Style coinage Athens introduced around 196 BC, replacing the archaic "owl" standard after centuries. By 110–109 BC, the series was administered by annually rotating magistrates — Zoilos, Euandros, and Theochenes held the position for that year, their names stamped as the sole record of their tenure. Thompson's exhaustive 1961 die study remains the foundational reference, and 719a places this issue within a well-documented sequence, making die-matching against Thompson's plates straightforward for specialists.
