Most of the following specimens seem to present a different die on obverse. But the precise identification and classification is extremely difficult for this type.
..
Note that another H554 specimen is known. I did not found any picture of it, but it has been sold by Mr. Bill Rosenblum (Dr. Sugar sale, 1995). Mr. Rosenblum estimated that it was "not as nice" as the 4th specimen shown here (Rosenblum Sale 33)

1. Reverse dies
.
Die R1
About this die, Mr. Goldberg noted an interesting observation: "Listed as a distyle temple in Hendin and Meshorer, it is apparent in this specimen that the temple has four columns rather than two, which are not evident in the plate coins of Hendin and Meshorer's"
