This denarius is the anonymous variety of the C AL issue, easy to spot with the three parallel lines on the visor. It is much scarcer than Crawford suggests. Only 11 other instances are found on acsearch, and only three for 75/1c, all sold by NAC: sale 61, lot 327 (sold for CHF 3,000); sale 83, lot 250 (CHF 1,600); and sale 92, lot 263 (CHF 700).
