[CONFIRMATION]. Sutherland cites an unique specimen from Hess auction in 1932 (lot 2632), however, in footnote 2 on p. 403 mentions: "Just possibly this coin was marked A, but Δ is more likely". The specimen from plate 28 in Hess catalogue shows undoubtedly officina Δ. Listed in Drost (p. 331, no. 27).
