NOT IN RIC

[CORRECTION]. Listed in RIC with bust type I1 l., but actually bust is similar to K4 l. except for globe with Victory instead of globe only. Listed in Bastien Lyon (294-316) (p. 251, no. 550) as corrected LYONS 23 (see footnote 1 on p. 251). However, it seems that variety with bust I1 l. (or at least similar) also exists.
