REVERSE LEGEND VARIETY. Specimen similar to LYONS 264 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. 182, no. 251). Should be listed in RIC before LYONS 263.
