A rare single-die variety of the relatively scarce Crawford 46/1 missing the usual lances the dioscuri carry on these Roma/Dioscuri issues. The only die in the entire Roma/Dioscuri run I am aware of with this error. A full copy of the Cr 46/1 and 60/1 die study referenced above, which this coin is published in, can be found here
