Series with TESOB mark. Variant with decorated shield with a horseman slaying an enemy, with the left hand.

A coin with probably several retouches around the letters of the legend. The engraving is clumsy and it reads PC instead of PF and CONCORPI. Coin sold the 13/10/2012 by Helios Numismatik GmbH, Auction 8, lot 115, link to the sale: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1384527.

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