Comment
BCD Akarnania -, but cf. 14 for a quarter stater with a different letter and for references to an Attic standard stater and half-stater with the plow symbol. Cf. De Luynes 1916 (quarter stater with a monogram).Probably unique with this letter and symbol combination.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Stater coin from the Akarnanian Confederacy is that it features the image of a mythical creature called the "Akarnanian Bull" on its obverse side. This symbol was chosen to represent the confederacy's strength and power.
