Coin illustrated in the RIC X, plate 51, n°2063. Sources: museum of Saint omer and museum of Turin. The quality of the photo does permit to see if the cross on the shoulder is Latin. I noted what we see on the other Tremissii.

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

This coin is the var B of RIC X (n°2063): large 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, Tremisses), have a ribbon protruding from the letters G on the obverse.
