Note that a small number of H648 specimens are showing a dot which is far from the simpulum's center (see two examples to the left). In my opinion, such a minor detail should not be considered as a real variety.

.

Die R2: "I" replaced by "P" in "KAICAPOC" ("KAP..." instead of "KAI..."). Note that the specimen shown is an hybrid
