RIC VII, TICINUM [after 153], CRISPUS, UNLISTED BUST TYPE AND REVERSE LEGEND [IRREGULAR COIN]

  

OBVERSE

CRISPVS-NOBCAES [CRISPVS NOB CAES]; head r., laur. [B1].

REVERSE

CAESARVMNOSTRORVM [CAESARVM NOSTRORVM]; laurel wreath enclosing VOT/V. TT in exergue.

NOT IN RIC

UNLISTED BUST TYPE AND REVERSE LEGEND. Bust type B1 not attested for Crispus' coins from issue TICINUM 140-162. Good style on obv., but note rev. legend CAESARVM NOSTRORVM instead of expected DOMINORVM NOSTRORVM CAESS or DOMINOR • NOSTROR • CAESS. Probably an ancient imitation. Should be noted among other irregular coins after TICINUM 160.
