9th KNOWN SPECIMEN TO ME (one sold on EBAY on 2008-05-18; Savoca Blue auction 9 lot 1780 + 6 Examples IN VEMANIA ISNY II HOARD)

Same obverse die as my coin no. 134 (with VOTIS X ET XX FEL reverse)

This coin is part of the scarce first phase of Ticinum’s 6th emission (according to Pink’s emission classification) with greek numerals of officinae not accompanied by the XXI monetary reform mark. In the much more common and abundant second phase of 6th emission the greek numerals were followed by the XXI mark in the exergue.
