(10mm, 1.14 g, 6h). Miletos(?) mint. Struck under Asandros, circa 323-319 BC. Macedonian shield; boss with labrys / Macedonian helmet; K to lower left. Price 2067 corr. var. (denomination; K to lower right). Purchased from Savoca April 2022

The description of Price 2067 and 2068 are identical, except for the cross-references. A comparison of the cross-referenced coins, however, reveals that they are all the same denomination, type, and variety. Thus Price 2068 is redundant, and should be omitted. At the same time, it is also notable that these coins are actually quarter, not half, units--a mistake corrected for Price 2068 by Charles Hersh (in his Corrections, no. 119), per Richard Ashton (though they did not realize the redundancy of 2068).
