UNLISTED OBVERSE LEGEND AND BUST TYPE - G11 l. Obverse legend D N IVL CRISPO N C is attested in RIC only for rare LYONS 100, also with bust type G11 l. But not for Crispus' coins from C|R/PLG issues (p. 130-133). Note also an engraver's error in obv. legend: CRIBPO instead of CRISPO. Not listed in Bastien Lyon (318-337) and Bastien Lyon - suppléments I-II. Should be listed in RIC before LYONS 162.
