UNLISTED ISSUE. RIC lists similar type from Thessalonica but with m.m. TS. See example of THESSALONICA 197 (Schulman March 1923, lot 2661, 4.40 g; cited in RIC; also noted by Gnecchi I (p. 59, no. 22; not illustrated). This coin apparently belongs to the later issue. Should be listed in RIC after THESSALONICA 221.

NOTES
