CARo _ LVS (inscribed in two lines, three globules aligned vertically in the middle).

MTTOLO (circular legend around a cross with a hollow in the center).

To be confirmed, probably the same type as type 5, var 3 ... indeed, the only difference with type 5 var 3, is the absence of the globule under the letter M on the reverse. On this coin of Classical Numismatic Group, the location where the globule should be is smooth, however, wear may have erased it and created this lack of relief.

The second letter T is assimilable to the letter E. However, its shape is exactly the same as the other letter that follows. In addition, this first letter T is made up of three globules linked together. There appears to be no globule on the obverse.
