Eastern Celts Imitation of Lysimachos AE with Odessos Countermark

I've been working through a lot of unattributed countermarked ancients (rather unsuccessfully) and found this one which I thought was kind of interesting, if not especially attractive.

It is an Eastern Celtic imitative issue of Lysimachos of Thrace with a countermark of a reclining river god (Theos Megas?) issued by (apparently) Odessos. I found several of these online (acsearch, Vcoins) so they appear to be fairly common. Some are actually cruddier than mine.

The real jackpot was this very informative article, ""Official" city coins and "barbarous" tribal coins - Lysimachos Lion." This site didn't seem to have a homepage that worked, so I cannot cite (or praise) the author - if it is a CTer, please step forward and accept a round of applause from me! http://rg.ancients.info/lion/lysimachos.html

Here is mine -

I'd love to see and know more, so please share.
