Thanks everyone.
I was in no way attempting to claim I
had found a new variant based on the Consulship. I don't own a copy of
RIC, and was just going by what I saw on those two websites.
And it is unfortunate that you can't make out the
legend at the base of the
obverse in the photo. Even in hand it requires moving the coin around to get the right lighting to make out the bottom half of
COS and a relatively clear "II"...unfortunately as I mentioned, the
patina has then chipped away apparently obscuring the third "I".
So for my records,
RIC 238 it shall be.
Again, thanks.
