MINTMARK VARIETY. Specimen similar to ROMA 78 except for absence of officina letter. See footnote 2 on p. 359:

"These common coins have been studied and recorded with insufficient care. It appears that there were examples (of which Vienna contains a number) without any officina-letter—a separate issue, or result of error in engraving ?".

Judging from quantity, "a separate issue" is far more probable than "error in engraving".

NOTES

Fraction. Coin sold on eBay in May 2013 for GBP 1.99 [Thanks to the collaboration of Mariusz Graczyk].
