It has been a few years since this topic was last raised, but are there definitive ways to separate KM#1377.2 (common, small bust) from KM#1377.3 (less common, medium bust)? I'm looking for markers and other comparisons. The differences from the large bust version and the "missing ornament" small bust version (only 100, so rare) are obvious. Thanks!

By comparison with some of the others, it would appear that the small bust coin lacks details in this area of the robes. My coin (medium bust) pictured again in different light, followed by a small bust version, below it.

I don't mean to gravedig this post, but the small bust coin on Numista clearly shows detail in that area. I assume the one on Numista is wrong and should be changed? N#32128
