UNLISTED OBVERSE LEGEND - 1b AND BUST TYPE - E. Not attested in RIC for this issue. Listed in Drost (p. 289, no. 32). Note, however, that Drost regards all coins with this rev. type and obv. legends 1b, 1c and 1d (AQUILEIA 119, unlisted off. Γ) as hybrids: rev. from earlier emission with obv. from later emission. Coin should be listed in RIC before AQUILEIA 119.

NOTES

From Drost (plate 8, no. 32/1).
