NOT IN RIC

UNLISTED REVERSE TYPE. RIC lists for this issue only rev. with Sol stg. l. or r., holding up globe, no whip. However, Bruun in footnote 144 on p. 248 writes as follows: "Two coins in V. [Vienna], ordinary obv. 1 (B4) struck in off. T with Claritas imagery, but Sol rev. legend. The one SOLI INVICTO COMITI, 'Sol advancing l., holding globe turned outwards', the other 'Sol advancing l., holding globe turned inwards and whip'. Both known as Claritas types of R|S issues". Not listed in Ferrando. Should be listed after ARLES 155.
