Crispus campgate from Arles with heroic bust

This coin just sold for $301.83. It is unlisted in RIC, but should come after Arles 171.

So, is it official, unofficial, or fake...because the two coins below look like a die match. The second picture is the example from Lech's page.



Crispus
A.D. 324- 325
18mm    3.7gm
CRISPVS NOB CAES; heroic (nude) bust left, laureate, spear pointing forward, shield on left arm.

Those two do look like a die match. Interesting coin...
