Very strangely, the reverses of D1952 and V24231 seem to be identical and the obverses are very similar, in flan, wear, etc., although more of the obv. inscription seems visible on D1952. The similarity must presumably be fortuitous, as it is hard to imagine how either one could be a forgery derived from the other. Christiansen annotated the ticket in Vienna with ‘Jahr 4?’ but the design is not otherwise known for year 4. If anything it looks like an H = year 8. The other Harpocrates temple design is attested for year 8 (but the building is different, and Harpocrates has a club, rather than a cornucopia, as here).
