RIC VII, LYONS [after 216], CRISPUS, MINTMARK VARIETY

OBVERSE	FLIVLCRISPVSNOBCAES [FL IVL CRISPVS NOB CAES]; bust l., laur., dr., cuir.
REVERSE	CAESARVMNOSTRORVM [CAESARVM NOSTRORVM]; laurel wreath enclosing VOT/•/X/ in three lines. PLGC in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	MINTMARK VARIETY. Specimen similar to LYONS 216 except for dot above X (p. 135). Bastien Lyon (318-337) (p. 167, no. 177) records this variety as a sub-type. However, in the present author's opinion this dot is rather a centering dot, merely technical. Otherwise, coin could be listed as a minor variety of LYONS 216 or after LYONS 216.
