Beautiful coin.  I have been looking for one of these for ages.

You have the wrong RIC volume.  This is the earlier issue of circa 312 and early 313.

RIC-VI-Ticinum-133.

SOLI INVI-C-TO COMITI, Sol stg. facing, head facing, chlamys over l. shoulder and hanging behind, r. raised, l. holding up globe.
1a (C) which means CONSTANTINVS P F AVG,R., laur., cuir.
Found from officinae P S and T.
Rated "Scarce" (ha, ha, ha, ha).

Should be 3.75 to 4.5 grams.  Thus it is at the earlier 1/72 L standard that ended in Spring 313.

What weight is yours?
