UNLISTED BUST TYPE - G. RIC lists for this obv. legend only bust types C and D (p. 196). Coin should be listed after TREVERI 516b. But note that the distinction between modius and turreted crown "is often very hard to make" (footnote 1 on p. 196). If Genius has modius on head, coin should be listed after TREVERI 509.

NOTES

Weight 9.82 g. Coin sold on Classical Numismatic Group auction in January 2009 for $660.
