<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 2861500, member: 75937&quot;]A recent purchase. Fairly nice as far as these go. Sure, it&#039;s a bit ragged, but the reverse die wasn&#039;t particularly worn when it was struck and Hilaritas&#039;s facial features are clear.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]681651[/ATTACH]</p><p>Tetricus I, AD 271-274</p><p>Roman billon antoninianus, 2.74 g, 20.1 mm, 4h</p><p>Mainz or Trier, AD 273-274</p><p>Obv: IMP TETRICVS P F AVG, radiate, cuirassed bust right</p><p>Rev: HILARITAS AVGG, Hilaritas standing left, holding long palm and cornucopiae</p><p>Refs: RIC 80; Cohen 54; RCV 11237.</p><p><br /></p><p>But here&#039;s my question:</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the listing in RIC V2 for this coin:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]681679[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The various obverse legends are numbered--that&#039;s clear. What ISN&#039;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?
