NOT IN RIC	REVERSE LEGEND VARIETY. Coin similar to NICOMEDIA 52 (cf. picture on plate 20 in RIC) except for unbroken rev. legend: FELIXADVENTVSAVGN instead of FELIXAD-VENT-VSAVGN. For gold issues different rev. legend break makes a separate entry in RIC (cf. TRIER 27-31). Therefore coin could be listed before NICOMEDIA 52.
