<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 14830686, member: 75937&quot;]The literature suggests at least two. A plain laureate head is described by Cohen (no. 537; RIC 916c) and reconfirmed by Strack, citing specimens in Munich, Paris, and University of Bologna). I haven&#039;t been able to find any examples online of this type, however and the museum collections cited by Strack haven&#039;t been digitized and Strack doesn&#039;t illustrate them, either.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cohen also notes a specimen in the BnF with a &quot;lauré et drapé&quot; (laureate and draped) bust (no. 538, RIC 916d) but this isn&#039;t confirmed by Strack, who generally cites the entire holdings of the BnF. I have not been able to find an example of a fully draped, left-facing bust type of this coin, and I think Cohen is probably referring to the type with the drapery on the right shoulder illustrated here by your specimen, the one in the British Museum, and the one at Romae Aeternae&#039;s V-coins store.
