Die-links 1: same rev. die as 2214/1–2.
Note The L of the date is reversed. Tooled: note the odd linear style and obverse inscription, and the added frown lines on forehead. Some minor details on the reverse have also been changed, as can be seen by a comparison with other coins from the same die, cf. https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/type/24447.
