XC, 12 and Act. I, tav. VII, 3. AE. 7.44 g. 21.50 mm. RRRR. Of the greatest rarity. VF.

This coin was known only through the specimen illustrated by Torremuzza until Campana, in the monograph dedicated to Thermai, has published for the first time the photo of the only specimen nowadays known (in private hands). This specimen is thus the third known example.
