<p>[QUOTE="Sulla80, post: 5131591, member: 99456"]Thanks! you led me to the relevant AMNG section: <a href="https://archive.org/details/p2dieantikenmn03akad/page/138/mode/2up" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://archive.org/details/p2dieantikenmn03akad/page/138/mode/2up" rel="nofollow">Gaebler</a>, <a href="https://archive.org/details/p2dieantikenmn03akad/page/n297/mode/2up?q=EION" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://archive.org/details/p2dieantikenmn03akad/page/n297/mode/2up?q=EION" rel="nofollow">Plate XXVII</a></p><p>and more interesting notes from Nomos: </p><p><font size="4">"Gaebler assigns all the known issues of Eion as being products of an "uncertain" mint. This is actually logical as the type was attributed to the city because of a small H (the first letter of the ethnic Ἠιών) that appears on the obverse of some coins. In fact, other letters, aside from H, also appear on the obverses of the coins of "Eion" - A, N, O, which, effectively excludes the possibility that we have the first letter of an ethnic. The known find spots for coins of the "Eion" type also seemingly disprove the link to the Eretrian colony at the mouth of Strymon river."</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
