Photo of a coin sold the 11/04/2018 by Classical Numismatic Group, Electronic Auction 418, lot 485, link to the sale: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=4884427, link to their website: https://www.cngcoins.com/. Resold the 28/09/2022, Electronic Auction 524, lot 696. I noted down the weights and diameter of this sale of 2022.

Variant without jewel on the diadem, to be confirmed given the state of the coin and the double strike which gives an uncertain shape of letter but corresponding to . Classical Numismatic Group noted the officina  in their sale of 2018 and "(...)'' in their sale of 2022. I only saw two copies for this officina (this officina seems rare), the other copy is the one with the variant with jewel on the diadem. 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).
