UNLISTED OBVERSE LEGEND. Not attested for this issue (p. 124). Listed in Bastien Lyon - supplément I (p. 47, no. 576α; spear and shield) and again, as a separate type, in Bastien Lyon - supplément II (p. 134, no. 581β; sceptre and no shield). In Bastien Lyon - supplément I bust is erroneously marked F*6, i.e. turned right. In Bastien Lyon - supplément II bust is marked F*4. Note that shield could be regarded as a decoration on l. arm (like on Treveran coins). Should be listed in RIC before LYONS 30.
