The letter G being often confused with the bust, we cannot say if all the coins of this mint have a ribbon coming out of this letter as is the case on the Siliquae. I was able to see two copies with a clearly visible ribbon, the first coin has been sold on 18 January 2017 par Classical Numismatic Group, Electronic Auction 389, lot 798, link to the sale: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3673887, the second coin was sold by the same auction house on 18 August 2004, Electronic Auction 96, lot 187, link to the sale: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=182621.
