Ex Ph. Gysen collection
Only the 3rd specimen known to me (the other being Coll.Privée, ex Coll.P.Gysen, ex Jacquier Auct.14 (07.1992) lot n°433 and Numismatic Naumann 21/811)
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.
