RIC VIII, 148 

Note: Footnote for 132-137 on p. 523 states "the dot sometimes 
reported before this and subsequent marks is in fact part of the 
drawing of the horse's mane". I have to disagree with this 
assessment based on the placement of the pellet on this piece and 
the complete separation of it from the horse's mane. Since none of 
the pieces which may have exhibited the pellet from the analysis of 
the RIC authors are plated, I cannot compare this piece to any they 
observed. This coin is being attributed to 148 based on the 
descriptions in RIC, since there is no series with a pellet mark 
listed.
