(ex Antony Laverack)
(In about 324 AD, the Londinium mint was producing two coin types. One was of Constantine with a SARMATIA DEVICTA reverse, and the other was a CAESARVM NOSTRORVM reverse used on coins of Crispus and Constantine II. This coin is a mixture of the two, with a Constantine obverse and a reverse used for Crispus and Constantine II. In other parts of the Empire, coins of Constantine were produced with a CAESARVM NOSTRORVM reverse, but on those occasions they had VOT XX in the middle of the reverse, and not VOT X like this one. The Forum Members' Gallery has similar coins produced at the Ticinium and Heraclea mints.)

This coin was issued in about 323 AD after Constantine defeated a Sarmatian army who attacked a garrison, which was possibly based at Campona (Campona was south of Aquincum, which is now Budapest). Sarmatia was situated on the other side of the Danube. At the time, Constantine was based in Salonica and was preparing for war with Licinius, who was emperor in the East. Sarmatia Devicta means "Sarmatia has been conquered."Noviomagus

LMCC notes say, "A number of coins have been reported for this mintmark with right, or, more often, left facing trabeate busts. In all of the cases, the F in the right field on the reverse is indistinct. These ... (are) ... presumed to be a P with a "square" rather than "curved" upper part.
My view is that this coin is S P / MSL as CT concludes. An added reason is that GENIO POP ROM coins with S F/MSL reverses do not have trabeate types, whereas S P / MSL coins do. I think this coin belongs to the series of coins in CT 8.07.001 - 8.07.009, but with an unrecorded bust/legend combination. (This has been confirmed by a recent example that clearly has S P / MSL.)

(We will never know if MSN was a deliberate mint mark for the London mint, or whether it was an engraver's error. Only 7 coins are known with this mint mark, which would suggest an error. However, there are examples with both a Constantine and Licinius obverse, which might suggest that the use of the MSN mint mark was deliberate. In all, 4 obverse dies are known for this issue and 2 reverse dies. See "A New London Mint mark for Constantine the Great" : Numismatic Circular, July 2009, pp.106 (Lee Toone). LMCC has a further comment on this mint mark on page 64.
This coin has the same reverse die as the Licinius example in my collection. This gives a glimpse into the working practices of the mint. It suggests that reverse dies were mixed and matched and weren't exclusively used for the coins of only one emperor.)

A few Claritas coins with a SP bronze mark have the Reipvblice spelling. These were the first coins struck at London with the Claritas reverse legend so they may have been early examples where the instructions to the die cutters were unclear or wrong. A mistake corrected for later dies and issues.
