From the inventory of a UK dealer.
The significance of reverse inscription ends H, P, R, T, TR and now HI, is uncertain. H obviously carries on from the previous issues (MIB 111-112) and may signify an indictional or regnal year 10, and therefore HI may signify year 18. This issue is also characterised by the replacement of the traditional Ravenna annular border on the obverse with a dotted border, while remaining conspicuous on the reverse.
