E22 15		facing   bust	A395	S1771v1 Con VII	B940v1	G--	DO--	Anokhin has these letters with dots for Con VII while he was assoc. ruler 908-912 (That is why E22 is here rather than below.) See E23, next, for the obverse without dots during his own reign. Sear distinguished E22 and E23 in the first edition, but not in the second.

The coins with "A" that Sear lists as "Alexander" are listed here under Michael III as Archont, as attributed by Anokhin.
