<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 5162288, member: 57495&quot;]Thanks for the question about the overstriking.&nbsp; I might apply myself to the question some day, but it&#039;s hard to puzzle out the undertype on most of these, and I reckon this one will be really challenging for me.&nbsp; For this piece CNG went with &quot;overstruck on uncertain type (as usual)&quot;.&nbsp; It seems the overstrikes for Gortynian staters of this period were mainly on coins of Kyrene and Knossos.&nbsp;&nbsp; On my <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/gortyna-stater-bull-in-the-labyrinth.285907/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/gortyna-stater-bull-in-the-labyrinth.285907/">other stater</a>, it is a Knossos minotaur/labyrinth type.&nbsp; Frederico Carbone has <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/330092957_Overstriking_at_Gortyna_insights_and_new_perspectives_in_Proceedings_of_the_12th_International_Congress_of_Cretan_Studies_Heraklion_2018" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/330092957_Overstriking_at_Gortyna_insights_and_new_perspectives_in_Proceedings_of_the_12th_International_Congress_of_Cretan_Studies_Heraklion_2018" rel="nofollow">a paper</a> available on Researchgate that gives a good overview on the topic, including a table that breaks down a sample of undertypes and which cities they were from.&nbsp; I see that two were identified as being from Sikyon.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
