Note Eagle's body may be turned to l. (O2819) or r. (Mi 1461). For Cop 601, see Severus Alexander https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/type/49691. E 2920 (4) (eagle standing l., head r., holding wreath in beak) is cited from the Armenian cemetery hoard no. 591 (E. Breccia, Bull. Soc. Arch. Alex. 17 (1919), pp. 230-51, no. 591 and Demetrio 2343. Demetrio 2343 = A 3525 is very worn with an illegible obverse, and is classified here as a coin of Severus Alexander (=https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coin/); the same is probably true of the hoard coin.
