The dots on the reverse are quite difficult to note. All Dupondii seen (for any variant) appear to have the same dots noted. All the coins seen are worn and these dots are almost all strongly erased. However, there is always at least one dot left out of the three noted. I therefore chose (in the event that there is only one or more dots left) to note the same reverse legend for all the coins. While waiting to see a fairly well preserved copy with missing dots or no dot, if such a coin exists.

A single obverse die seen, associated with at least three different reverse dies.
