Reading of year 2 is not certain. It might be year 2, or it might be year 3 with the last part poorly struck.

I have this coin. The third letter in the date could be "yn" for 2, or "t" which is the third lettet in "tlt' " (3), but there is no room for a fourth letter of "tlt' ".
So date 2 or date 3 with last letter missing...
