NOT IN RIC

UNLISTED BUST TYPE - L3 l. var.. Not attested for obv. legend 7d (p. 133-134). Note that bust is cuirassed instead of cuirassed and draped. The variety itself is somehow similar to LYONS 193 but according to Bastien Lyon (318-337) (footnote 1 on p. 160) unique specimen cited in RIC was incorrectly described (bust L2 l.). Listed in Bastien Lyon (318-337) (p. 160, no. 137). Should be listed in RIC as corrected LYONS 193 or after LYONS 194.

NOTES

Weight 3.37 g. From Bastien Lyon - supplément II (plate XXXIX, no. 137b).

- from Bastien Lyon (318-337) (plate IX, no. 137); weight 2.47 g [click for picture].
