[CORRECTION]. RIC gives bust B4, i.e. cuirassed and draped. However, Bruun cites this type after Voetter (Otto Voetter, Sammlung Bachofen von Echt: Römische Münzen und Medaillons, Wien 1903, p. 141, no. 2480; not illustrated) who describes bust as cuirassed only. Possibly Bruun's slip or misprint in RIC (B4 instead of B5).
