Two other coin sold by Classical Numismatic Group, link to the first coin: https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=342641 (a single globule on the reverse, the one just before the far right being in my opinion, a rest of the letter S badly printed).

Variant with the globule in front of the letter S on the reverse.
