UNLISTED BUST TYPE AND OBVERSE LEGEND, HYBRID. Bust type and obv. legend not attested for Crispus (p. 380). However, Bruun mentions the same obv. type in note at the bottom of p. 380: "Mun [Munich] has [...] obv. IVL CRIS-PVS NOB C (B1)". Specimen might be regarded as an imitative hybrid of unlisted obv. variant and TICINUM 140. Note also errors in legends. Coin should be listed in footnotes before TICINUM 148.
