UNLISTED FOR RULER. RIC lists this type only for Crispus with footnote 156 on p. 176:
"This coin may represent another stage, hitherto unknown, of the otherwise complicated development of types in this series; the big portrait suggests a late stage".
See TRIER 156 (ANS 1944.100.13153, 3.60 g, 19 mm). Coin should be listed after TRIER 156.
