One copy reported and sold by Classical Numismatic Group, link to the sale and their website: https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=379717. The estimate takes into account the price realized for this unique example (even if the majority of the coins of this type are very damaged and can have the point erased by the usury). Classified here as a variant because the copy seems unique.

The bust is clearly cuirassed on the best preserved copies. One may wonder about the other types, if the cuirass is present, the part showing the cuirass always looking smooth. So I note on the other types, a bust only draped. The eagle on the reverse is placed on the feet or is in the air above the feet with a bar representing the ground below.

Same comment as for the type IOVI CONSERVATORI, the cuirass is clearly visible, unlike other types, so noted draped only.

Mark n° 5: impossible to confirm the absence of points in the exergue, too worn copies.

I classify this type which was still associated with RIC 12, so Victoria walking left (direction error from the RIC), (see note on Victoria type walking right, listed below). I classify this coin for the Samosata mint, given the style and the average weight.

The RIC 12 gives Victoria walking left, it's probably this coin but with an error of description. I noticed two types of Victoria, the one noted here, walking on the right and the one standing left on a globe. Most of the experts think it was the victoria walking right that was ranked in the RIC 12. Only, do they have knowledge of this guy standing left? In any case, the auction houses classifying the two types with bad descriptions and still under the RIC 12. And the other specialists do not mention the standing type. Only the göbl seems to have classified this variant, reference: 1745g.
