This coin is similar to RIC 370, but it has a dot below the wreath on the reverse. Do not be confused with the centering dot…it is the dot below that. RIC does not list this, but does have a type with a dot in the wreath (RIC 375). Maybe it is just an engravers error or a remnant from the manufacturing process, like the centering dot; but whatever the case, still worth noting.
