Tekin 2015a: Bronze, discoid in form with plain profile but with raised edge; centring point only on the obverse; double concentring circles engraved along the edge; measuring 35 x 6 mm and weighing 49.69 g; engraved on the obverse with the denomination mark Γ Ι which seems probably that it was engraved later; originally not inlaid. The reverse is blank. Its mass corresponds to an eleven-nomismata (nomisma of 4.51 g) or two-uncia (uncia of 24.84 g) but the denominational mark (Ι Γ) denotes to thirteen-nomismata (nomisma of 3.82 g). So, its weight does not strictly correspond to its denominational mark. Alternatively, it is highly likely that it is not a Γ Ι but rather a Γ Β then it stands for two-uncia. In this case, the left bar of the B is engraved deeply, while the two semicircular part of it may be incised lightly and thus it is not visible. This practice was known when the B is inlaid.
