Crispus BEATA from Trier with Gorgon on shield and rare bust type

[Victor]

I just saw this coin which has two unusual aspects- a very nice Gorgon on the shield and it has a rare bust, I5 which is laureate, cuirassed, spear across left shoulder, shield, victory on globe in left hand. It is 17mm and 3.3 grams. It sold for  $394.22

One of the reasons I started collecting these was it seemed like there was no end to the variations. I've yet to even see the Licinius version of this coin.

Yes, this is a wonderfully varied series. I have only seen the Licinius types in a book, the page is attached below.

Thank you. What book would that be in?
