UNLISTED BUST TYPE - E7. Not attested for obv. legend 1 (p. 214). Note that diadem looks like a plain ladder-shaped diadem combined with a laurel wreath. Note also an unexpectedly light weight of this specimen. Coin of a good style but presumably an ancient imitation. Could be listed before TRIER 518.
