Copie apparue en 2025. Papier de moindre qualité, couleurs plus fades que l'original. Filigrane différent. Numérotation individuelle plus grande que l'original.
Le rendu UV du tétradrachme de Syracuse apparaissant dans la fenêtre à l'avers est assez ressemblant à l'original, mais ressort de manière grossière.
