)
CRISPVS NOB CAES, Laureate and cuirassed bust left, holding spear and shield decorated with scene of the she-wolf suckling the twins Remus and Romulus
R/ VIRTVS - EXERCIT, two bound captives seated at foot of standard inscribed VOT/XX in two lines , T|F // STR – Trier – 320/321 – 20 mm - 3.31 g
NOT in RIC with this obverse
It could be a hybrid between RIC.296 (VIRTVS EXERCIT) struck in 320-321 and RIC.308 (BEATA TRANQVILLITAS VOT/IS/XX) struck in 321. The RMBT gives 5 samples with a wolf on the shield (RMBT 12 (off P); 13 (off S); 16b (off P); 20 (off P) and 21 (off S).

Neat coin, thanks for posting. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a hybrid, but I don’t guess we can know for sure.

This coin is still RIC 296. The rare decoration of shield deserves a footnote but does not change anything in attribution.
