This coin is the same as RIC 28, except that coin has a captive to the left; while this one has an eagle. None of the rulers for the SMANT series are listed with eagle only. The previous series, with ANT mintmark, has an eagle.

here's another example that was listed as RIC 28. This coin is one that many would probably not initially notice has an eagle instead of the usual captive. People often see what they are expecting to see...I have done this before.
