[ATTACH=full]839698[/ATTACH] You can see the close-ups of the countermarks: helmet with dot(s) and other intricate design (see below for more detailed one); standard incuse AVG; incuse TI•CAE (AE ligate, se below), and finally incuse dolphin swimming right, dorsal fin at top, and what appears to be a circle in top right. As mentioned, here is a more detailed version of obverse c/m's from the page linked earlier.
