Note date not clear on rubbing in DS. Emmett 1184 describes it as Elephant l.; it is in very poor condition but is probably to r. Emmett points out (in litt.) that the elephant occurs also in year 7 for Vespasian, Domitian and Trajan; so the attribution is not certain! The seemingly similar P Delepierre 44 looks more like L IZ, and coins similar to it (with ‘rhinoceros (?) of year 17) are listed under Trajan 4818.
