According to a response from ODH regarding this coin and it's unrecorded control, he wrote: "This does indeed look like an unrecorded monogram. It looks to me like you have a new example of an imitative type of the Antioch Laodice/elephant series. The style is a little unusual." (October 2008).
Further research may bring into question the first portion of ODH's assessment. E.T. Newell's The Seleucid Mint of Antioch notes precisely this "unrecorded" monogram on page 21 and notes "Hunter" as the source. It appears that this monogram may have been missed? As for the "new example of an imitative type" this appears certain.
