Photo of a coin sold the 11/09/2007 by Auktionshaus H. D. Rauch GmbH, Summer Auction 2007, lot 635, link to the sale: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=391086, link to their website: https://www.hdrauch.com/site/de/.

I saw two coins with a dot in the legend on the reverse, these coins had two different obverse dies but the style is the same: large head with small bust. This style seems to be found only with this reverse having a dot between the letter R and the letter T. These dots can therefore mark periods of striking or issues with a change of engraver.
