UNLISTED BUST TYPE - B. Not attetsted for obv. legend 5a and rev. type with Genius towered (p. 129). For the difference between "modius on head" and "head towered" compare examples of LONDINIUM 85 (modius on head) and LONDINIUM 89b (head towered). Note, however, that this difference is sometimes not clear and Cloke-Toone (p. 46-7, 136, 138) merges both types of rev. under one catalogue number. Listed in Cloke-Toone (5.01.007). Should be listed in RIC after LONDINIUM 87.
