This variant seems the least common, I put it as the main type in a logic concern: to organize the following variants depending on the length, the number ... of known cuts.

CONSS
Numéro : 1

One coin seen, sold by: Gorny & Mosch Giessener Münzhandlung, Auction 207, lot 703, 15.10.2012 link to the sale: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1385973, link to their website: https://www.gmcoinart.de/default.aspx. Obverse legend  already  referenced by RIC 7 page 589, legend 14 a. The RIC gives us a mark CONSS to the exergue, which I noted, although I saw only one copy with this legend (that of the link) whose last letter of the mark has disappeared, but is most likely an S. We also note that the V of SECVRITAS  has disappeared, die in bad condition or blocked.
