Selene Psoma (2008, p. 213-215) attributes this coin to a military issue of Agathocles,
son of Lysimachus, during his reign over the city of Maroneia, where 9 specimens of this
type were found during excavations. It is also suggested that the city was named Aga-
thocleia during this period, and renamed Maroneia after the death of Agathocles 282 BC.
