This emission is a rarer issue of this type with a small head on the reverse. The identity of the individuals featured on this coin has been open to speculation. Some suggest the obverse male is a youthful river god. Some have suggested the male on the reverse is an older river god, others suggest it is Dionysos. Bodenstedt notes 29 examples of this general emission and within that only 4 of this variety. A further 81 examples have appeared at auction, this being the 81st and within that only 5 of this variety.

Sinope (AD 253-260) AE 24 - Valerian I256 viewsValerian I , 253-260 AD. AE24 (9.02g, 3h), Dated CY 329 (258/9 AD (?). IMP VALER[IANVS ...], laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right / [C I F S ANN] CCXXV[IIII], bearded facing archaic head of Dionysos, wearing cap. Extremely rare. Corrosion pits, aVF.
The late bronzes of Sinope are almost always poorly produced and of crude style, thus making them hard to read. On this coin, the date starts with CCXX, followed by what might be a V, and a possible additional IIII on the left side of Dionysos' beard. The fact that the coin was struck from the same obverse die as SNG Paris 661 with a clear (though retrograde) date of XXVIIII, supports this reading.

Mytilene (BC 521-478) EL Hekte - B21 var253 viewsca 521-478 BC. EL Hekte (2.50g, 10mm). Head of ram left, cock standing right, pecking at ground. Letter E (retrograde) below. / Incuse head of bearded Herakles wearing lion’s skin headdress facing right. VF. Carr coll.
This appears to be a ‘double variant’ emission. The coin is ‘clearly’ a hybrid of an obverse of Bodenstedt 21 (ram's head left with cock below) and the reverse of Bodenstedt 2, 15, 16, 20, or 26 (incuse lion's head right). There appear to be only 6 of this variant, this being the 6th. On the other hand, it is a variant in respect to the other 5 variant examples and the normal B21, as there is a letter “E†(retrograde) below the cock on the obverse. CNG Auc. 105, lot 238 (5/2017) is a similar coin, but it has an additional letter () below the cock. Hekte emissions of Mytilene that include the letters E are B14, B20, B23, B28, B35 and B-unknown CNG Triton XX (1/2017), lot 259 - these letters have been taken to denote the island of Lesbos. CNG suggest these B21 variants should be considered a new emission as, in addition to a different type combination, none have die matches with other dies.
