REVERSE

VICTORIAAVGVSTI [VICTORIA AVGVSTI]; Victory std. r. on cuir., shield, inscribing VOT/XX/MVL/XXX on shield.

NOT IN RIC

[CORRECTION]. Contrary to the RIC description of rev. "shield supported by Genius", there is no Genius. Listed in Gnecchi II (p. 135, no. 12) with correct description: "Vittoria seduta a destra su di una corazza e uno scudo, in atto di scrivere VOT XX MVL XXX su di uno scudo che tiene sulle ginocchia". However, variety with Genius may also exist.

NOTES

Weight 37.76 g; diameter 38.4 mm. From the Bibliothèque nationale de France (IFN-11353276); probably this coin (as one of three) cited in RIC.
