[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2176817, member: 19463"]Saying HG suggests you are taking the second letter to be a lower case gamma but the same shape just left of Hera's head is OU ligate. I'd also change (OV ligate) to (WN ligate) for consistency and perhaps also mention that the AP in the city name is ligate. I'm less sure of this but I believe the first letters on the reverse are ligate ΥΠ rather than an H. There is a lot of imagination in some readings on these.
