Notes:
(1) This mint mark is date to 327-328 and can not be attributed in RIC to Fausta who died in 326. As this coin is correct in all other ways, this leaves us with two possibilities: (a) the celator had not got the news, or used two wrong dies, or (b) this issues needs to be dated from 326. The latter being my favored possibility. (2) Fritz Rudolf Künker Auction 115: Lot No. 812
