This coin is also on listed at Not in RIC.
Quality: Very Fine+
Rarity: Unclear. So far I have been able to confirm the existence of at least 10 specimens of this coin from officina A,
so according to the definition of RIC Vol VI, that would make it's rarity R3. More likely, though, these coins can be
classified as "Scarce".
