RIC VII, ARLES -/252, CRISPUS, UNLISTED BUST TYPE [B5], HYBRID

OBVERSE	CRISPVSNOBCAES [CRISPVS NOB CAES]; bust r., laur., cuir. [B5].
REVERSE	DNCONSTANTINIMAXAG [D N CONSTANTINI MAX AG]; in laurel wreath VOT/XX. P*AR in exergue [ARLES 252].
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED BUST TYPE - B5, HYBRID. Bust type not attested for obv. legend 5b (p. 261). However, in footnote 254 on p. 261 Bruun mentions that "Dattari (p. 502) records the bust B5". Therefore, it is hybrid of unlisted Crispus' obverse with reverse of ARLES 252. But note also unbroken obv. legend and unexpected AG instead of AVG in rev. legend. Coin may be regarded as an ancient imitation. Otherwise, should be listed after ARLES 254.
