Photo of a coin sold the 24/03/2010 by Numismatica Ars Classica, Auction 54, lot 665, link to the sale: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=758892, link to their website: https://www.arsclassicacoins.com/. The RIC X illustrates plate 72 for this n° 3419, a coin whose obverse legend shows a retrograde letter N. I have reclassified this legend as a variant, see AYC #8 var.
Note of the RIC X about this n°3419: ''small and large busts''.
The notable differences between the Tremissii of the mint of Milan and those of Rome are:
Milan
- latin cross larger and thin.
- the bottom of the wreath shows large and wide crosses and has no ribbon.
Rome
- smaller and wider latin cross.
- the bottom of the wreath shows decorations and ribbons.
