Ex Naumann 101, 4 April 2021, 266 (expertly cleaned since).

Regrettably, the rendering of the second letter in the magistrate's name inscribed across the upper reverse field is rather crude. It resembles a clumsy C or Γ, but neither option is wholly convincing. Intriguingly, this letter is equally crude, if not more so, on the two other reverse dies known to this cataloguer.
