M25. Types of C. Vibius Pansa (?), after 90 BC; cf. Cr-342/5, 4.27g, serrate. Remarkable double-struck obverse; somewhat stylized, double struck reverse; no obverse legend other than possible A repeated; blundered, meaningless reverse legend. The strike makes interpreting the obverse virtually impossible. The Vibia prototype is only an educated guess, which doesn't explain the serration.

M26*. Various obverse types, reverse type of L. Titurius Sabinus, after 89 BC; cf. Cr-344/2 (R), 4.45g. Barbarous Roma head; barbarous reverse scene, with Tarpeia misinterpreted as third soldier; blundered, meaningless reverse legend.

M27. Various obverse types, reverse type of L. & C. Memmius Galerius, after 87 BC; cf. Cr-349/1 (R), 4.78g. Both sides stylized; blundered, meaningless reverse legend.

M28. Types of Gar, Ogvl, Ver, after 86 BC; cf. Cr-350A/1, 2.66g. Both sides stylized; blundered, meaningless, reverse legend.

M29. Anonymous types, mismatched, after 86 BC; cf. Cr-287/1 (O) and 350A/2 (R), 3.88g. Close copies of mismatched types, slightly stylized. Would be Group 1b if types were properly paired.

M30*. Obverse type of Mn. Fonteia, reverse type of L. Memmius Galerius, after 85 BC; cf. Cr-353 (O) and 313 or 349? (R), 4.00g. Both sides stylized, blundered but recognizable obverse legend; blundered, meaningless reverse legend.. Unusually small, thick flan, only 15mm diameter (18-20mm is typical.)

M31*. Obverse type of L. Sempronius Pitio, reverse type of L. Licinius Macer, after 84 BC; cf. Cr-216/1 (O) and 354/1 (R), 4.29g. Both sides stylized; correct, slightly crude obverse legend; blundered, barely recognizable reverse legend.

M32*. Obverse type of Mn. Fonteus, reverse type of Q. Antonius Balbus, after 83 BC; cf. Cr-353/2 (O) and 364/1 (R), 3.60g. Barbarous Apollo head, slightly stylized biga; legends on both sides blundered and meaningless.

M33. Obverse type of L. Julius Bursio, reverse type of Q. Antonius Balbus, after 83 BC; cf. Cr-352/1 (O) and 364/1 (R), 3.11g. Both sides close copies, especially obverse; reverse legend slightly blundered but mostly correct. Would be classified as Copy if the types were properly matched.

M34*. Types of Q. Antonius Balbus, after 83 BC; cf. Cr-364/1, 3.78g. Same obverse die as M133. Both sides close copies, somewhat stylized; blundered, meaningless reverse legend. Would be classified as Copy if reverse legend were more accurate.

M35. Obverse type of C. Vibius Pansa?, reverse type of C. Norbanus, after 83 BC; Chitescu 112 (same dies), cf. Chitescu 204 (same obverse die), cf. Cr-342, obverse, cf. Cr-357/1, reverse; 3.45g, Barbarous head of Apollo, meaningless legend before; sketchy but accurate reverse.

M36. Obverse type of Q. Titius, reverse type of C. Mamilius Limetanus, after 82 BC; cf. Cr-341/2 (O) and 362/1 (R), 3.89g, serrate. Both sides slightly stylized; somewhat blundered but easily recognizable reverse legend. Would be classified as Copy if types were properly paired.
