UNLISTED BUST TYPE - B4. Not attested for obv. legend 1 (p. 653). Note that bust type is uncertain because a pearl diadem could sometimes resemble a wreath. So this coin may be also attributed as CYZICUS 66, unlisted for officina Γ. For comparison, see the undeniable example of CYZICUS 66. Coin should be listed before CYZICUS 65.
