Alexandria (ancient), Egypt (332 BC - 476 AD)Comments
This coin seems to correspond most closely to RPC III #5549, which is often equated to Dattari #1913. However, Dattari #1913 matches this coin exactly whereas there appears to be substantial variation in the RPC III #5549 category in terms of the orientation of the cornucopia and the splitting of the letters on the reverse, as well as the exact lettering.
