(no |- below club) Reference3:     HN Italy 1414 Photograph Credit:     Classical Numismatic Group Source:     http://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=62259 Grade:     VF Notes:     The example of this coin in Van Keuren is struck such that he does not list a magistrate's name for this issue. This specimen, though, definitely shows indistinct letters in the field where a magistrate's name appears on concurrent issues (cf. Van Keuren 119-120 and 122).
