Just another Tetricus I antoninianus and a question

A recent purchase. Fairly nice as far as these go. Sure, it's a bit ragged, but the reverse die wasn't particularly worn when it was struck and Hilaritas's facial features are clear.


Tetricus I, AD 271-274
Roman billon antoninianus, 2.74 g, 20.1 mm, 4h
Mainz or Trier, AD 273-274
Obv: IMP TETRICVS P F AVG, radiate, cuirassed bust right
Rev: HILARITAS AVGG, Hilaritas standing left, holding long palm and cornucopiae
Refs: RIC 80; Cohen 54; RCV 11237.

But here's my question:

Here's the listing in RIC V2 for this coin:



The various obverse legends are numbered--that's clear. What ISN'T clear is what the various bust types are, which are lettered. Where in RIC V does it list the various letters, such as A, C, and F, used to describe the busts? What type is A, for example? What page in which volume of RIC V is this given?

I also notice the cross-reference to Cohen is wrong in RIC. RIC says #80 is equivalent to Cohen 57, but that coin in Cohen depicts Fortuna with a rudder and cornucopiae.

Thanks so much! And, of course, you are encouraged to post anything you feel is relevant!

I can't remember the page...

 

The bust types are in Volume I, page 36.

 

And also in volume 2 embedded on page 19 in the Probus section.

 

Thank you @Ken Dorney and @maridvnvm !

RIC V is just a hot mess, isn't it?

 

Each volume has its own problems and issues.
