PROVID AVG
RIC V 499 var. (obv. legend)
Rare. Dark green patina.
Some roughness and encrustation. Scratches on reverse. Weak centers.
An unusual example. The engraver ran out of space for the final G in the obverse legend, and the reverse features S and C placed at two different heights. An oddity for a specialist collector.
