CARo _ LVS (inscribed in two lines).

M - AI _ C - N (inscribed around a large cross, the center of which is made up of a circle with a globule in the middle. The letter M at the top left of the cross, A and I at the top right, C at the bottom left and N at the bottom right. Two globules at each end of the cross, one globule above the letter A, another under the letter N).



One copy preserved at the Münzkabinett der Staatlichen Museen of Berlin, link to the page of their website showing the photo of the coin: http://www.smb-digital.de/eMuseumPlus?service=ExternalInterface&module=collection&objectId=2448405&viewType=detailView. Perfectly matches with the illustrations in old works (same form of blank, lettering etc ...). The photo of the Berlin copy shows the reverse side upside down.

 

The globule above the letter A and the one under the letter N merge with the beading but are much larger than the points of the beading.
