19mm, 4.56g
RIC VIII, 148 (C)
Note: Footnote for 132-137 on p. 523 states "the dot sometimes reported before this and subsequent marks is in fact part of the
drawing of the horse's mane". I have to disagree with this assessment based on the placement of the pellet on this piece and
the complete separation of it from the horse's mane. Since none of the pieces which may have exhibited the pellet from the
analysis of the RIC authors are plated, I cannot compare this piece to any they observed. This coin is being attributed to 148
based on the descriptions in RIC, since there is no series with a pellet mark listed.
