UNLISTED ISSUE OR ENGRAVER'S ERROR. Coin similar to SISCIA 66 except for dot before officina letter instead of dot at the end of m.m. Listed as a separate issue in Bikić-Do Hoard (pp. 65, 72; Siscia no. 119; 1 specimen). However, note that so far all known specimens, except one (SISCIA 65, of doubtful reading), are from officina B only. In that case, it also could be the result of incorrect instructions in one particular officina. Further investigations needed.
