Recently i purchased an epirote drachm like the one in the picture above. It wasnt on numista so i submitted a contribution for my type with the EK monogram, since the only other epirote drachm on numista was a different type. I did a lot of research, and there are a lot of conflicting sources on the dates for the same coin. Some list it as 238-168BCE, and others as 148-50BCE. Since the picture from CNG i used on my contribution listed it as 148-50BC, i just used that one, but i am still not sure at all. I cant figure out which one is the right one because they are both bascially the same coin. I need your guys's help / opinion on which is correct. In the following links are multiple different online examples of the coin.
Examples that say 238-168BCE:
