1 The silver hemidrachms of Mkias are extremely rare, and are considerably forged.
Though the word BA2EfAEjQ!E on this specimen is blundered, yet its workmanship,
texture, and general appearance make its authenticity certain, I have seen one or two casts
of this coin,.

2 Note the late forms of the letters on these copper coins of Nikias, which are also peculiar
in being without monogram. One or two. specimens are known on which the letters are
normal. Cp. coins Nos. 172 and 212 of Antialkidas.
