Photo of a coin sold the 14/01/2003 by Classical Numismatic Group, Triton VI, lot 1163, link to the sale: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=122107, link to their website: https://www.cngcoins.com/.

Uncertain mint, i noted Ravenna but this can be from Roma. 

This coin is the var B of RIC X (n°2068): smaller wreath with base-ties XIIX. 

I notice that all Solidi have a double pearl necklace while the smaller denominations only have a single necklace. All of the coins that I have seen (Solidi, Semisses and Tremisses), have a ribbon protruding from the letters G on the obverse.
