I tried to establish a classification of the coins according to the breaks of the legends, marks and dots. Difficult because the details are often out of blank, some coins are perhaps with dots or even an invisible mark but present on the die original. In this case, I report it here.

This coin sold by Paul-Francis Jacquier, confirms that the type exists without a mark at the exergue. Link to the sale: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3258831.
