Woytek 278b, portrait type C. Good very fine.



Strack included an aureus from St. Petersburg of this type in his compilation which later turned out to be a cast copy of a denarius. RIC took over the mistake and listed this type under no. 188 as an aureus, adding the denarius only in the addenda section of the same volume.
