| Remark: | The shape of the monogram on the reverse, the hair of Aphrodite bound in sphendone and the absence of the rose bush on the obverse correspond to Type 3.2d. However, in the lower left field of the reverse there is only the letter Λ instead of ΓΛ, and below the monogram there appears to be the letter O. The prototype could therefore have been an as yet unknown variant of Type 3.2, or the forger mistakenly changed the design of the reverse die. |
F.2
| Type F.2 | |
| Denomination: | Fourrée Stater |
Detail
| Weight: | 8.1 g |
| Diameter: | 24 mm |
| Obverse: | Aphrodite seated left, wearing polos, hair falling in curls, holding phiale in extended right arm, left arm resting on the back of the chair; to left, Eros flying to right, bearing an olive wreath to crown Aphrodite; below throne, mouse; dotted border. |
| Reverse: | Bearded Dionysos dressed in a long robe, standing left, holding grape bunch on vine in extended right hand, thyrsos in left; in left field, illegible control marks; in right field, NAΓIΔ[IK]ON; dotted border. |

| Remark: | The city ethnic on the reverse is not entirely legible, but the initial letters NAΓIΔ and the final letters ON can be distinguished, and therefore the ethnic is NAΓIΔIKON. This fact and the absence of the rose bush on the obverse narrow the possible prototypes to Types 3.4 and 3.5. |
