Hadrian, Cistophorus BITHYNIA Koinon of Bithynia mint, variant

[okidoki]

Dear cf,

Here we have a new reverse variant
Similar to RPC III, 977 https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/3/977 only an extra figure holding sceptre and Victoria ?
Also I mailed a correction on 977, she is also holding a cornucopia

Coin is somewhat under weighted

Best
