The coin is indeed unlisted in RIC, but was minted at Rome, not at Arles! There is "PR" in exergue and the style is apparently Roman.

Should be listed in RIC VI after ROMA 286.

Probably fake.

This is a modern plated fake. The same dies have also been used to strike fakes on solid silver.

"RIC:-" suggests that the coin is unlisted in RIC. In fact, it is RIC VI SISCIA 137b.

This mistake is frequently the result of overlooking that the legend marks on page 468 are superseded by new ones on page 469.
