ARELATVM (circular and anti-clockwise legend, around a city gate with two crosses below).

The difference with type 1 is the legend of obverse not interrupted by the bust, the anti-clockwise direction of the legend of reverse and the two crosses below the city gate. Even if the style is rough enough, I don't think it's an imitation. The legends are correct and the weight too.
