Note: The footnote on RIC IX p.34 is "1.08g. This and the following 'coin' (? distribution pieces) were described and illustrated by Sir A. Evans in N. C., 1915, pp.472-3, pl. xx."

That footnote references RIC 110:

Obverse as 109 (Draped, helmeted, bust of Roma left, in circle of pellets) and reverse with XV in wreath, TR in exergue. Like 109, 110 is also listed as R5 (unique), also missing in Cohen and the only known example is in the British Museum.

The footnote for 110 simply lists the weight "c.1.00g"

Both 109 and 110 are listed at the end of the Treveri mint section, in their own section listed as "Unplaced" with respect to issue and timeframe.
