UNLISTED OBVERSE LEGEND AND BUST TYPE - G8 l. The obv. legend is not attested for Siscia and bust type is not attested for Crispus' coins from this issue. Good style but rather not Siscian. Note also a small weight. Probably an ancient imitation. Could be listed in footnotes after SISCIA 165.

NOTES

Weight 2.20 g; diameter 18 mm. Sold on eBay in August 2014 for GBP 69. Now in the Zenon M. Collection.
