THE ONLY EXAMPLE OF THIS EXACT TYPE KNOWN TO ME. POSSIBLY UNIQUE!
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.
