Another coin sharing the same obverse die, preserved at the British Museum, Museum number B.10309, link to the coin: https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/C_B-10309. Note the dot above the arm on this reverse die, which differs from the one seen on this AYC #1, RIC 1 specimen; proof that the dot was intentionally engraved. A centering dot? A specific mark?
