Dots on coins are often erased and this makes classification difficult. The coin shown here shows the two dots on the obverse, only I found another coin sharing the same dies and whose dots on the obverse are almost invisible. It is therefore necessary to observe the slightest trace and sometimes look for better preserved coins with same dies, to be able to conclude that the description of the coin is good.
