                              The portrait is very close to those solidi 
                              attributed to the Naples mint by Hahn, especially 
                              in the details of the crown and drapery. The 
                              Naples mint solidi (MIB 28, N28, 29), however, 
                              have either a linear cross or a pellet cross as an 
                              officina mark, not extant on this specimen.
