Crawford 335/1b (155 obverse dies/194 reverse dies, all varieties)
- Bertolami Fine Arts Prague, Auction 295 (04/05/2024), lot 520.
Aulus Postumius Albinus, Lucius Caecilius Metellus, Gaius Poblicius Malleolus:
The three variations of RRC 335/1 only differ from the symbol below Apollo's head, which, in our case, is off flan. Nevertheless, the obverse die is the same as Elsen 156, lot 396, which features a star; thus it is RRC/1b.
