    As I was attributing my back log of coins I came across this odd Pontos, Amisos which I assumed was a common issue. However I can't seem to find any other copies of it besides one that was listed in acsearch that was sold by Roma Numismatics in January 2016. These coins typically have AMI-ΣOY but this one has AMAΣ-ΣEIAΣ.

    BMCG 13. 6. 2 (plate I, 13)

    The BMCG obverse description is of a Bust of youthful Perseus right, head bear and winged; drapery on neck. The reverse is described as AMAΣ-ΣEI(AΣ), cornucopiae between pilei aurmounted by stars.
