Originally considered as being issues from Parium in Mysia but many examples found have come from the region of Macedon and Thrace. Grant initially thought they had a broad circulation but recent finds in an archaeological context at Philippi lend support to that as the city of issue. The mint of attribution awaits full confirmation.
