UNLISTED BUST TYPE - C3 l. Not attested for obv. legend 7c (p. 195). Not listed in RMBT. Although RMBT lists similar bust type for an earlier issue (p. 64, no. 21-22), it is described as in mantle and with mappa ["Herrschermantel, aus dem eine Tafel (Mappa?) herausragt" (p. 22, bust type 92L)]. But note that the difference between type 92L and type 91L (draped and cuirassed) is not clear and could represent two different styles of engraving. Coin should be listed before TRIER 355.
