ONLY THIRD EXAMPLE KNOWN TO ME (THE OTHER BEING IN G. KRYSZCZUK'S COLLECTION AND NAVIS-MUHLEN HOARD NO. 430)
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.
