Notes:     (1) Classical Nuismatic Group Triton X: Lot No. 762 (2) From the Gordon S. Parry Collection. Ex Nicholas V. Jamgochian Collection (Peus 340, 2 November 1994), lot 1112. (3) Based on the coins listed here I do not believe that the reverse descriptions of this issue have been adequately developed. RIC notes that officinas A and G show liquor flowing while officina B does not. There is sufficient evidence that officina A, also, may, or may not, have liquor flowing. Additionally, RIC notes that the eagle holds a wreath in its beak. There is adequate evidence that it may, or may not, hold a wreath. Also, RIC associates the reverse break _L_ only with officina A, while V_L is associated with officinas B and G. This, also, appears to be incorrect.
