Notes:
Where to place this coin? The extended obverse AVG inscription place it into Group V (310-311), or VI (311-313). However the absence of a star would seem to preclude Group VI; the altar in left field would indicate sub-groups i or iii, as would the reverse inscription GENIO EX_ERCITVS but the weight module of 5.4 gr. seem to preclude this; the crescent and the weight seem to indicate inclusion into sub-group iv.
