UNLISTED OBVERSE LEGEND, BUST TYPE - B4 l., HYBRID. Obv. legend and bust type not attested for this issue (p. 259). Note unusual m.m. AQ instead of AR (or QA) which may be confused with m.m. used in Aquileia. Note also crude style and lettering (error in rev. legend). Apparently an ancient imitation.
