Previously attributed to Gaius Caligula, now uncertain. There is a note on the Künker listing stating that this coin must have been struck under Hadrian since only he struck the Apis bull reverse in year two. That is incorrect, the type was also struck by Claudius in that regnal year, and neither issued the type as dichalkoi. The Apis bull was a popular type until the Antonine period, with the last dichalkon of the type having been struck by Antoninus Pius.
