This coin of Postumus looks like RIC 327 except the reverse legend ends in an S. So the legend is either EXERCITIS or perhaps EXERCITVS. The question is whether this was just an error or should it be a different RIC number. I am leaning towards it just being an error.
The first coin below is the one in question, the second coin is the normal type.
