REVERSE LEGEND VARIETY. Specimen similar to LYONS 263 except for rev. legend breaks GLOR-IAEXERC-ITVS instead of GLORI-AEXER-CITVS. For this issue such difference makes a new entry in RIC (cf. LYONS 261 and LYONS 262). Listed in Bastien Lyon (318-337) (p. 183, no. 256). Note that Bastien lists under this number only officina S. Officina P is listed separately (p. 181, no. 250). Should be listed in RIC before LYONS 263.

Weight 2.16 g. From Bastien Lyon (318-337) (plate XVIII, no. 256a). Attribution highly uncertain; given after Bastien. Rev. legend is only partially visible and the last part could be CITVS.
