OBVERSE

CONSTANTINVSPFAVG [CONSTANTINVS P F AVG]; bust l., laur., cuir., globe in r. hand.

NOT IN RIC

UNLISTED ISSUE. Coin similar to LONDINIUM 235, but RIC does not list such issue mark. Engraver's error is very unlikely. Note that LONDINIUM 235 is cited from Voetter [Gerin Catalogue] who cited it after Maurice [Numismatique constantinienne]. Sutherland's comment in footnote 4 on p. 137: "doubtful, and needs confirmation". LONDINIUM 235 is also not confirmed in Huvelin. Should be listed after LONDINIUM 242.

NOTES

Weight 4.52 g. Coin sold on Classical Numismatic Group auction in April 2001 for $1,050.
