UNLISTED OBVERSE LEGEND, BUST TYPE AND MINTMARK VARIETY. Long rev. legend (VICTORIAE), S on altar and dot in m.m. suggests that this coin belongs to SISCIA 73-80. However, obv. legend and bust type is not attested for this issue. Similar to SISCIA 103 except for VICTORIAE and absence of officina letter. Could be regarded as an ancient imitation. Otherwise, should be listed after SISCIA 75.
