This particular coin is of an 
earlier style and is not recorded in DeCallataÿ's 
study of the Mithradatic Era. Also, Pick, in AMNG, 
notes that this coin was not likely issued under 
Mithradates.
The Hunterian specimen is the only published 
example, which is the one AMNG refers to. AMNG 
also confirms that the Hunterian catalog 
incorrectly records the monogram without the W.
