UNLISTED ISSUE. This specimen shows only one dot in right field instead of three. It could be an engraver's error or remains of previous and rare issue with one dot which was quickly replaced for unknown reason by another with three dots. See footnote 1 from p. 590 about Licinius' coin from the same issue: "An Oxford coin of off. A shows only • instead of [three dots vertically] - presumably a mint-error".
