<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Severus Alexander, post: 3976310, member: 84744&quot;]What a great thread, which must not be relegated to p. 2.&nbsp; Here&#039;s the example of the overstrike from AMCC 2, which has the obverse overstruck on the obverse of the undertype, unlike Doug&#039;s:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1046548[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>And the writeup:</p><p>BOEOTIA, Federal coinage, c. 220s BCE under Antigonos III Doson, AE18. Overstruck on Antigonos Gonatas, 277-239 BCE. 2.74g, 17mm.</p><p>Obv: Head of Demeter or Kore facing slightly right. Undertype: Head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin.</p><p>Rev: ΒΟΙΩΤΩΝ, Poseidon standing left, foot set on rock, holding trident. Undertype: B - A, Horseman right, ANTI monogram below.</p><p>BCD Boiotia 100-109; Undertype: SNG Cop 1214-21.</p><p>Very clear undertype, including the Antiogonos monogram.&nbsp; The dating of these coins, which are normally found overstruck, follows E. Vlachogianni, &quot;A hoard of coins from Thebes,&quot; NomKhron 19 (2000), pp. 55-113.&nbsp; This places it squarely within the reign of Antigonos III Doson, who is otherwise difficult to represent numismatically in bronze. Antigonos III led Macedon’s last resurgence before its final defeat (to the Romans) under Philip V and Perseus.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
