Notes:     (1) This as is unlisted in RIC; while it is similar to RIC 045, this coin with the right to left inscription, differs from the expected left to right. I have designated it as RIC 045A. This method is used elsewhere in RIC (addendas) to place unlisted coins (2) Heritage Auction Galleries Long Beach Signature World & Ancient Coins Auction: Lot No. 26054
