"...as well as the original issue there was a second one with a very elaborate 'countermark': the reverse legend was oblitarated by a ring-shaped punch with (the revised inscription quoted above). [RPC I p. 488] 
2995 As 2994 but obv. inscription restruck as above and reverse inscription restruck: ΓΑΙΩ ΑΣΙΝΝΙΩ ΠΩΛΛΙΩΝΙ ΑΝΘΥΠΑΤΩ. [RPC I p. 489]
The coin shown here suggests that the central piece was overstruck after the restriking of the reverse inscription !
