UNLISTED OBVERSE LEGEND. Engraver obviously had a problem with letters. The end of the obverse legend reads as follows: "...IVNOBIC". Possibly means: IV NOBI C. There is also a letter omitted in the reverese legend: N in TRA[N]QVILLITAS. It could be an unofficial issue, although the style looks too good. On the other hand, there are many irregular coins noted for Treveran mint at this period, so this specimen could be one of them. If a separate number should be given, coin should be listed after TRIER 355.
