However, a more recent analysis of hoard evidence has indicated that this coinage was actually struck during the lifetime of Philetairos, near the end of his reign, following the limited issue of tetradrachms (Group I) bearing the portrait of Seleukos I (see A. Davesne & G. Le Rider, Gülnar II. Le trésor de Meydancikkale [Paris, 1989], pp. 334-340).
