213 BC EGYPT CHI RHO CROSS

A bronze coin marked with the Chi-Rho monogram, four dots arranged around the crossed letters, read as both a cosmic and a solar symbol when later enclosed in a circle. Compare the Alpha and Omega flanking the Chi-Rho on the Monogram of Christ in the Museo Pio Cristiano, Vatican.
