[CORRECTION]. RIC suggests that dot in m.m. is placed in exergue, like for ANTIOCHIA 12 (cited and illustrated in RIC, and corrected here), Actually, RIC mixes here two issues: one with dot in l. field and star in m.m. (as shows cited specimen from Hamburger auction; see below), and one with dot in m.m. and no star (as shows cited specimen from Canessa auction; see ANTIOCHIA [after 9], MINTMARK VARIETY).

Listed in Depeyrot (p. 140, no. 13/3).
