Archaeological description
CPAI III/2: Flattened sphere doubly truncated in form; centring points on the top and bottom; engraved on the top with the denominational mark Β; possibly originally not inlaid. The bottom is blank. It is a two-ounkia (ounkia of 39.12 g). Patinated. Some part on the side is missing, inside is filled with lead. Its mass corresponds to a three-ounkia, not to its denomination mark on it. Gamma might be later changed to beta adding some short lines.
