Extremely rare reverse type (SOLI INVICTO AVG in spread quadriga instead of Soli Invicto only).

Apparently only the second known specimen in the world with this bust type and officina (the first one being in La Venera hoard). Alfoldi erroneously depicted clouds underneath the spread quadriga on La Venera specimen. In reality, there are no clouds on the Venera specimen, as on my specimen (the latter information courtesy of Jean Guillemain).
