VOT / V within wreath
VOT: Votis Vicennalibus, prayers for 5 years of rule
V: 5
Domination: Bronze centenionalis, size 18 mm
Mint, Constantinople and the mintmark is CONSP[?], 363 - 364 A.D
Exergue:
Oficina: workshop (A,B etc.) RIC VIII Constantinople 178
Comments:
The reverse is pretty good, but if the photo of the obverse is accurate it might be an imitation. The face and the drapery on the bust look fairly odd. Worth looking at some other issues from Constantinople to see if they share the same characteristics as it might just be the work of a bad official engraver. Overall it is not a type that was heavily imitated.
