Note: Although RIC lists such coins as from officina 4 (Delta) only, all known examples appear to be from officina 1 (Alpha).
It is possible that Δ was a misreading of a poorly engraved A.
Further verification is necessary.
Bust A, as listed by RIC, as with many other similar coins of Serdica, is unlikely.
Chronology: Pink's 2nd emission of Serdica, 276 CE.
