NOT IN RIC

UNLISTED NUST TYPE - E8. Not attested for obv. legend 1 (p. 201-202). Apparently a hybrid but RIC lists similar hybrid with bust type B1 as a separate type (cf. TRIER 430). However, this coin is also an ancient imitation of crude style and lettering. Could be noted in RIC after TRIER 430.

NOTES

Weight 1.30 g; diameter 16 mm. Sold on eBay in January 2018 for USD 40.
