Notes

Note: This specimen existed as part of the National Museum of Denmark, but is no longer traceable. A photo of it was published by Alföldi (1951). This specimen was connected by Alföldi with the Asina tokens due to stylistic parallels. However, the specimen has no connection with the donkey image and it probably does not belong to the "Asina" series.
