Photo of a coin sold the 25/06/2003 by Numismatica Ars Classica, Auction 25, lot 621, link to the sale: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=139636, link to their website: https://www.arsclassicacoins.com/.

Variant without jewel on the diadem. The classification number is ''b'' and not ''b var'' as is the case for other officinas when the jewel is absent on the diadem; because I have not seen any coin with this officina with a bust presenting a jewel on the diadem. This officina decorates the top of the standard with 3 dots as officina A did but also features a standard without any dots as on the coin sold the 24/01/2006 by UBS Gold & Numismatics, Auction 64, lot 265, link to the sale: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=280270. It is the copy sold the 10/05/2001 by Münzen & Medaillen GmbH (DE), Auction 8, lot 461.
