It has long been disputed whether this town, named after the 
gold-rich river in Lydia, existed or not. Sestini and then 
Mionnet (Supp VII) listed one such coin, Imhoof listed 
another in RSN 1896 (Augustus/Livia), and Waddington 5120 
described another.
Imhoof later wrote that his Augustus coin was from Nysa, 
probably with an altered legend, and, in GRM, RSN 1908 he
 wrote that the legends on the Sestini/Mionnet coins were 
misreadings of CARDIANWN (Sardes) (as CARDIANWN PAKTWLEWN = 
SNG Lewis 1000) and that the city of Paktolos did not exist 
at all. In RSN 1908 he also mentions this coin from the 
Prowe/Rhousopoulos collections, stating that the legend is 
actually "PAKTWLEWN CARDIANWN"

However, the legend PAKTWLEWN MENE on this very Prowe/Rhousopoulos coin shown here is very clear and no part 
of it can be mistaken for the name of Sardes.
