Ex Barry Murphy, CICF Show, April 2005
Note: pellet ASIS pellet not an attested exergual mark for the long legend reverse. The closest match is RIC VII, 65 and although some of the other examples in this series are shown with Victory's foot in the exergue, this piece clearly shows all four feet on the exergual line and the leading exergual pellet is separate. Perhaps this is a separate series and other examples where the pellet is taken for Victory's foot is also actually a pellet. More research is needed.
