RIC VII, TRIER [after 296], CRISPUS, UNLISTED BUST TYPE [G9]

OBVERSE	IVLCRISPVSNOBCAES [IVL CRISPVS NOB CAES]; bust r., laur., cuir. with spear pointing forward, shield on r. arm [G9].
REVERSE	VIRTVS-EXERCIT [VIRTVS EXERCIT]; standard inscribed VOT/XX with captive std. on ground on either side. T in left field, F in right field. STR in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED BUST TYPE - G9. Not attested for obv. legend 5a (p. 189). However, this coin may be regarded as an ancient imitation (or even a modern forgery). Especially note the horizontal spear which ridiculously looks like an arrow in Crispus' neck. Otherwise, coin should be listed after TRIER 296.
