RIC VI, SISCIA [after 211], GALERIA VALERIA, UNLISTED ISSUE

OBVERSE	GALVALE-RIAAVG [GAL VALERIA AVG]; bust r., diad., sometimes wearing necklace, with facing dr. bust on crescent.
REVERSE	VENERI-VICTRICI [VENERI VICTRICI]; Venus stg. facing, head l., r. holding up apple, l. raising drapery over l. shoulder. Γ in right field. SIS in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED ISSUE. Coin similar to SISCIA 211 except for the absence of crescent in left field. It could be an engraver's error and Sutherland also considered such possibility in footnote 4 on p. 480: "Vienna has a coin of off. Δ without crescent in field to l.: probably an engraver's error rather than a transitional issue". However, another specimen from different officina makes this hypothesis weaker. Coin should be listed after SISCIA 211.
