NOT IN RIC

[CORRECTION]. RIC cites specimen from Trau Collection ("Hess 1935, 3788") but coin no. 3788 on plate 44 has no crescent and star in exergue. Note that variety of ANTIOCH 4 with crescent and star in exergue apparently does not exist but this pattern is correct for ANTIOCH 5 and ANTIOCH 6.
