Crispus BEATA

Ben kindly pointed out to me this coin.

The question is: an official unlisted variety or a good imitation? I opt for the second possibility.

Me too.

What about this one? Unlisted officina T, but odd style

The uneven legends and about-to-collapse gate could be explained by the engraver being drunk, but the pearl diadem doesn't belong on this issue.

Apparently an ancient imitation. But interesting and type formally unlisted. I would be grateful for better pictures and data.

The BEATA is in poor condition and it is hard to be sure, but I would say official. The wavy top bit of the cuirass on the neck looks a bit odd though.
