UNLISTED BUST TYPE - B4. RIC lists for this issue only bust type B5. However, in footnote 47 on p. 366 Bruun mentions specimen with bust B4 recorded by Maurice, but not to be found. Note also that RIC incorrectly gives pattern for this issue (see CORRIGENDA, VOL. VII, p. 366). Coin should be listed before TICINUM 47.
