I tend to disagree with Crawford's placement in the same group as the 2nd Q series. Stylistically this issue could not be more different on both obverse and reverse than the issue with phrygian helment and Q symbol.
Reverse Slightly off-center obscuring part of the ROMA legend. Otherwise, very pleasing example with excellent old grey toning. Great obverse style and overall characteristic of the type.
