UNLISTED ISSUE. Specimen similar to unlisted ARLES [after 414] except for pellet (or sometimes very small annulet) on standard instead of annulet. Note that on some specimens sign on standard may be regarded as a small annulet and also the whole variety could be regarded as an insignificant variety of the later annulet issue.

Listed in Ferrando (p. 222, no. 991). Should be listed in RIC after ARLES 411.
