La forma alternativa del monogramma sul R/, attestata in pochissimi casi, non sembrerebbe rappresentare una variante della serie, ma piuttosto una lettura errata del monogramma più comune o un'interpretazione creativa dell'incisore.
Text in english
The alternative form of the monogram on the R/, attested in very few cases, does not seem to represent a variant of the series, but rather a misreading of the most common monogram or a creative interpretation of the engraver.
