Variant with jewel on the diadem. I only saw two copies for this officina (this officina seems rare), the other copy is the one with the variant without jewel on the diadem (to confirm, see comments of AYC #19 i var, RIC 232). Both coins display the same decoration above the standard which resembles the variant with the three dots (difficult to judge given that wear has probably erased these small details and that a coin is double struck. Moreover these details are very close to the edge and are sometimes not visible because of this).
