<p>[QUOTE="cmezner, post: 8057633, member: 87809"]This one, which I think I shared before, is class I or an early class II type; most probably class I because both heads are crested, a feature also found on some smaller early Class II coins and there is a dot after COL. On Class II coins there is no dot after COL and COL NEM is ligate (RIC 157).
