Variant without jewel on the diadem. Unlike other officinas which almost always display the same decorations on the top or bottom of the standard, here we see variants with 3 dots or no dot above the standard. I could only find one coin with a jewel on the diadem, so the variations are seen on the type without jewel. Here are the variants:
