Dear friends, I've purchased this little ant of Claudius II:
D\ IMP CLAVDIVS AVG R\ VICTORIA AVG
The bust looks to me more like an A3 type (Head right, radiate, with traces of drapery to front and rear of truncation) than a B1 type (Bust right, radiate, cuirassed).

The bust you are talking about is not A3 but O2(2 pans) in ricmom database. A3 is a bust seen from rear. Here are the search results based on O2 (1 or 2 drapery) with all reverse types and the two following obverse legends : IMP C CLAVDIVS AVG - IMP CLAVDIVS AVG :

Sorry!!! Yes It's the O2 type, I've made a mistake! The description was correct, "mea culpa"! Do you think that's right this type of bust for the piece that I've attached? If yes, I'm not able to find a VICTORIA AVG with this bust in the ric online database...
