They are hemiobols struck to the reduced Milesian weight standard. Apart from the <em>Historia Numorum Online<\/em> website (HNO), the coins have not yet appeared in major Greek coin catalogues. The representation and inscription on the obverse clearly refer to one of the series of the well-known \u201cGreat King\/Map of Ionia\u201d issue. On the HNO website and in auction descriptions, the coins are dated to the 5th or 4th century, respectively, and are attributed to an unspecified Ionian or Karian mint. This paper presents their iconographic and metrological analysis, examines their relationship to the \u201cGreat King\/Map of Ionia\u201d issue, and attempts to refine the dating. The analysis has confirmed the Karian attribution of the coins, although the mint itself remains undetermined. It is proposed to narrow down the dating of the described issue to the first quarter of the 4th century or slightly later. It is also suggested that it be considered as belonging to the group known as \u201ccoins of satraps\u201d, struck out of urgent need, perhaps to finance military activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Key words:<\/strong> Karia, Great King, hemiobol, boar protome, coins of satraps<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>DOI:<\/strong> https:\/\/doi.org\/10.52800\/ajst.1.18.a1<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bodzek, J. 2023. \u201cA Note on a Satrapal Coin with the Inscription \u0394\u0397\u201d, <em>Notae Numismaticae \u2013 Zapiski Numizmatyczne<\/em> 18: 15\u201330.
