MINTMARK VARIETY. Specimen similar to LYONS 161 except for dot in m.m. Note, however, that the existence of LYONS 161 (RIC cites unique coin from Lückger collection) is not confirmed in Bastien Lyon (318-337) (see footnote 1 on p. 156). Note also that the present coin may be regarded as an ancient imitation.
