NOT IN RIC

BUST TYPE - E2. Not attested for obv. legend 1 (p. 212). But note that it could be an error in RIC because the existence of TRIER 510 with bust type E8 is doubtful (cf. footnote 510-511 on p. 212: "Recorded by LRBC 43-44 as E2 and E3"). Coin should be listed before TRIER 510. or as TRIER 510 [CORRECTION].
