Oh wait, I think I know why. Yours is Year 3. The numista example is Year 9. OK.
Ah, I see. Thank you. In comparing yours with the Numista link you provided, they are not the same... or am I missing something?
Thank you!
I think there should be characters on both sides (one each) of the head. You might find these 2 Numista links handy, one referencing a genuine...
Imagine all the ruckus back then about those 3 little tiny initials. Today, there are designers' initials on the obverse, reverse, here, there,...
