Congratulations on the new acquisition. With over 2 cm a remarkably broad flan and well preserved. Would it have been struck for a special occasion?

Very nice ! Not much more to be wished in terms of placement of the legend.

Thank you for the comments.

@Peter- Its difficult to say whether it was a ceremonial issue or not.

A very helpful analysis, Tariq. Thank you, also in the name of future users.
