Ex Kunker Auction Sale 270, 2 October 2015, (lot 8321, realised 1200 Euros).
Kunker notes in describing this coin that the magistrate Theognetos has so far only been documented for hemidrachms and drachms, see Deppert-Lippitz 5 and 38 ff. The present piece proves that tetradrachms were also minted in his name.
