Series with COMOB mark. Variant with shield decorated with victory walking to the left with a prow in front of her and holding a wreath with the right hand . I am listing this variant seemingly unreferenced yet. We se on the shield a victory walking to the left with a prow in front of her and holding a wreath with the right hand. This is the variant ''c'' of the RIC X page 266 and which was referenced only with the marks TESOB and TES.OB. . Only one copy seen.

These coins from this mint all seem to have a spear depicted without a tip.
