I've got the impression that it is indeed a die match, however, the coin on the right shows more die-wear than on the left, which explains the...
A very impressive set of coins, @eparch. The silver stater with the incuse ear of barley is on my wishlist :)
Thanks @zumbly. Learned something new today.
