Note |
None of the four coins with this design has a certain date. They were struck from two rev dies: K 518 and Amsterdam S3201; Matthijs and Amsterdam. So each rev. die is combined with both a normal-sized bust with aegis and a half-length bust with aegis; the latter is rare and does occur in year 12, but is frequent in years 16-18. That suggests one can rule out year 14 as a candidate for this design, and 12 seems more likely than 16 (preferred by Emmett, in litt.) because it looks to us more like a B than a Ϛ, and since the mixture of obv. busts seems more likely in year 12.
