Comments

This type is only known by patterns.

Krause lists KM#Pn5 as having a "small bust" and KM#PnA6 as having a "large bust"; however, what exactly makes the bust large or small needs confirmation. KM#Pn5 is assigned as being equivalent to Hsu#13, and KM#PnA6 is assigned as being equivalent to Woodward#972, with those two additional references clearly depicting different types (showing differences in the thickness of the rice stocks on the reverse and the design of the badge insignia on the obverse). With that being said, for these pages on Numista, the attribution of what type is KM#Pn5 and KM#PnA6 is based solely on what is listed for the additional references.
