Photo of a coin sold the 15/05/2006 by Classical Numismatic Group, Electronic auction 139, lot 339, link to the sale and their website: https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=83392.

Coin not listed so far, I noticed that the letter P has disappeared from the legend on the obverse. Giving F AVG instead of P F AVG.

Officina letter not listed by RIC IX N ° 36 b. I notice that all the coins that I was able to observe with this officina letter have a very barbaric style, close to an imitation. to which I add this coin with an error of legend for this officina. It is however the only coin whose style is of good quality, close to the rest of the coinage. Under what conditions did this officina work? Perhaps in an emergency, calling on a poor engraver. The question is legitimate.

Note that a Siliqua from the Milan mintp was shown in the July - August numismatic circular of 1925 with the same obverse legend and which seems to be an ancient imitation. See RIC IX page 80 note.
