RIC VII, HERACLEA [after 60], CONSTANTINE I, UNLISTED BUST TYPE [E6]

OBVERSE	CONSTAN-TINVSAVG [CONSTANTINVS AVG]; head r., with pearl-diadem, looking upwards [E6].
REVERSE	DNCONSTANTINIMAXAVG [D N CONSTANTINI MAX AVG]; laurel wreath enclosing VOT/XX. Star in middle field. SMHΒ in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED BUST TYPE - E6. RIC lists for Constantine I only bust type B1 (p. 549). Note that this type probably represents transitional form and could be described also as unusual variation of B1, as B2 [laurel leaves which resemble pearls], or as E3 [head with pearl-diadem but not looking upwards]. But see example of HERACLEA 60 with very small laurel leaves (from Classical Numismatic Group). Coin should be listed after HERACLEA 60.
