UNLISTED BUST TYPE - G5 l. Not attested for obv. legend 5a (p. 133). Not listed in Bastien Lyon (318-337) and Bastien Lyon - suppléments I-II. Note IVC LRISPVS instead of IVL CRISPVS in obv. legend. Probably an engraver's error but this coin also may be regarded as an ancient imitation. Otherwise, should be listed before LYONS 162.
