RIC Page 139 ("7b") (I have inserted this here as this is where it
appears in the sequence in RIC. It is not placed in the normal sequence of
numbers as it is one of the COS I variety, which at the time were thought to
be doubtful but have been proven since to exist.)

This coin is not placed in the normal sequence of numbers as it is one of
the COS I variety (as opposed to the usual COS II), which at the time of
writing RIC were thought to be doubtful but have been proven since to exist.
This particular example shares the same obverse die as a coin in the Doug
Smith collection but as is common with the coinage of Emesa it is used with
a different reverse die.
