I noted the legend SALVS REI - PVB o LICAE as for the AYC #5 var, RIC 1806 which is the only other known coin with the dots separating the legend. This die is probably the one used for this coin. Given the rarity of the two coins, the number of dies must be tiny or unique.
Note to finish that the RIC X describes this type as being with the two emperors standing while all the coins show Theodosius seated.
