UNLISTED BUST TYPE - E3. 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 [laurel leaves which resemble pearls; but see example of HERACLEA 60 with very small laurel leaves (from Classical Numismatic Group)]. Coin should be listed after HERACLEA 60.
