RIC VII, TRIER 309, CRISPUS, UNLISTED OBVERSE LEGEND AND BUST TYPE (UNOFFICIAL?)

OBVERSE	CRIS-PVSNO(?)CA [CRISPVS NO CA]; bust l., helmeted, cuir., spear across r. shoulder, shield on l. arm [H2 l.].
REVERSE	BEATATRA-NQVILLITAS [BEATA TRANQVILLITAS]; globe set on altar inscribed VOT/IS/XX; above, three stars. PTR in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED OBVERSE LEGEND AND BUST TYPE. Obverse legend CRISPVS NO CA is not known at all. However, there are many irregular Crispus' coins minted in Trier with 'fancy' legends (i.e. CRISPVS N C • COS II or CRISPVS NONIL (sic) C; see p. 192). Also the bust type [H2 l.] is not known for this issue (but is known for Crispus' coins from earlier [TRIER 286] and later [TRIER 374] issues). Coin should be listed after TRIER 309 or rather among other Crispus' coins with irregular obverse on p. 192. Note also crude style - probably unofficial issue.
