UNLISTED OFFICINA - Γ. RIC lists for whole issue only officinae Α and Β (p. 512). However, footnote 3 on p. 512 to THESSALONICA 19a [Diocletian's coin] reads as follow: "The B.M. [British Museum] has a coin with TSΓ: though there may have been a third officina this is the only recorded example of Γ".
