Extremely rare; unlisted on Probuscoins.fr

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.

Small flan crack; otherwise a spectacular example with almost full original silvering and wonderful golden patina
