Note Confirmation required. The obv. inscription on https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coin/238118 cannot be read, and it might be tempting to regard it as one of the rare coins of Julia Maesa with the same reverse for year 3 (https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/type/), but the style of the portrait and hairstyle is different, and consistent with the other portraits of Mamaea for year 3. The reverse design is known for Mamaea for year 4 (https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/type/50356), and for Alexander, also in year 3 (https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/type/50170).
