UNLISTED BUST TYPE AND REVERSE VARIETY. RIC lists for Crispus only bust B4 turned left and star on reverse instead of wreath [SISCIA 190]. Unfortunately, coin is badly worn and it is impossible to determine if it is official or not. Should be listed before SISCIA 190.

NOTES

Weight 1.84 g; diameter 16 mm. Sold on Roma Numismatics for GBP 75.
