ESIS in exergue
18mm, 2.94g
RIC VII, 54 variant (helmet design)
Note: Although the star in the field of the helmet is the standard for the H11 bust type, field marks on the D6 are rare and RIC does not footnote any examples. This may be a helmet design or a sub-series. I have only seen three examples with a decorated D6 helmet, all of which are from my collection.
