Series with TESOB 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 and a shield with the left hand.

Variant with jewel on the diadem. It is the only specimen that I noted with a jewel on the diadem on all the solidi of this mint with the legend CONCORDIA AVGG. This variant doesn't seem to have been referenced yet.

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