    The closest I can find is RIC 589, with the only difference being RIC 589 has a laureate crown, and this one has a radiate crown. Everything else is the same. Would I just call this a "RIC 589 Var"? Many thanks for any help with this.

    I found your coin sold at Marcinak in May of this year.

    Reference: RIC 583


    Here is the reference of the type @OCRE:

    It shows one other example held at the Münzkabinett Berlin:
