[QUOTE="Parthicus Maximus, post: 7384930, member: 102867"]The story with this coin needs an update. I found out that it is not Ric 16 but Ric 14. The difference is in a tiny detail.

You can see the difference here: Ric 14: [ATTACH=full]1285597[/ATTACH] Ric 16: (from the collection of [USER=82616]@David Atherton[/USER]) [ATTACH=full]1285598[/ATTACH] Both types are very rare.
