Another example: 1960-202 (better)
RIC VII, p. 649, #38 (325-326 AD different bust! diadem and draped);
LRBC I, #1175 (but different type: diadem)
MI(4.vii.2010): Officina letter is a delta whose right diagonal hasta has been smooshed left; closest analogue is RIC 7.649.38, though it, like LRBC 1.1175, gives laureate rather than p.d., as here.
