From a European collection, formed before 2005.

Hemihektai featuring such irregular depictions have been recognized for some time, yet it remains mostly unclear whether specific motifs are intended. Despite thorough research, no comparable example could be located within the reference literature, which ultimately means that no other coin from these dies could be found. As a result, citations to other hemihektai with irregular decorations were omitted, since they all have completely different designs.
