UNLISTED BUST TYPE - B5 l. RIC lists for this obv. legend only bust type B5, but there is an obvious misprint: entries LONDON 77 and LONDON 78 are identical [1f (B5)]. Probably LONDON 78 should have B5 l. instead of B5. Note that there is also a problem to determine the bust type (see CORRIGENDA, VOL. VII, p. 101).
