Also, since the celator on the legends for this example was not connecting
the strokes for the A and Vs in the obverse legend (a common practice),
there was apparently some confusion as to how many lines were needed and
an extra one was added between the V and S in the emperor's name.

Ex Warren Gemmell, detectorist find in United Kingdom and registered with
Portable Antiquities Scheme, February 2008
Note: RIC describes the bust type as rosette-diadem, however this specimen
has a plain and laurel-diadem type. Since the diadem style varies so
widely from mint to mint, I am leaving it with the RIC description as it
is not plated for comparison.
