NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED REVERSE LEGEND, ENGRAVER'S ERROR. Specimen similar to LONDON 103 except for ...REIPVBLICE in rev. legend instead of REIPVBLICAE. See footnote to LONDON 101 on p. 103: "In Mun, a rev legend CLARITAS REIPVBLICE (sic), unless the latter part of last A and the entire E have been obliterated, which appears unlikely in the light of the condition of the coin". Error is present on coins from different dies so it could be a permanent mistake done by a poorly literate engraver. Listed in Cloke-Toone as a minor variant together with LONDON 103 (8.09.004).
