[CORRECTION]. According to Bastien (Bastien Lyon (318-337), footnote 2 on p. 138), the specimen from Vienna cited in RIC has actually obv. legend D N CRISPO NOB CAES ("Ric VII, no 73, décrit par erreur ce nummus avec la titulature FL IVL CRISPVS NOB CAES"). However, this legend could be shorter (...NOB CS?) because there is not much space after "NOB C".

Listed in Bastien Lyon (318-337) (p. 138, no. 8). Note that with this correction coin should be listed in RIC after LYONS 75.
