UNLISTED OBVERSE LEGEND. Not attested for this issue (p. 111). Also bust type L3 l. is not attested for Crispus (p. 111-112). But note crude portrait of Treveran style (decoration on l. arm). Apparently an ancient imitation. Noted in Supplement to Cloke-Toone (second edition). Could be noted in RIC before LONDON 228.
