REVERSE

NOT IN RIC

REVERSE LEGEND VARIETY. Coin similar to SISCIA 65b except for rev. legend break: VICTORI-AAVGG instead of VICTOR-IAAVGG. For silver issues from Siscia different rev. legend break makes sometimes a separate entry in RIC (cf. SISCIA 61 and SISCIA 62). Therefore coin could be listed after SISCIA 65b.
