[CORRECTION]. RIC gives in error bust type A (head, laur.). This is not a simple misprint because it is a single occurrence of bust type A in this issue. Listed in Fresnoy-lès-Roye II Hoard (p. 113, no. 426-7). Listed in Margaux Hoard (p. 226, no. 230). Listed in Cher Hoards (p. 76, no. 402-404). Listed in Cloke-Toone (3.01.022) with this correction. Note. however, that there are irregular coins of this type.
