RIC VII, LONDON [after 300], CONSTANTINE II, UNLISTED ISSUE [Dot over PLON], BUST TYPE B5

OBVERSE	CONSTANTINVSIVNNOBC [CONSTANTINVS IVN NOB C]; bust r., laur., cuir.
REVERSE	PROVIDEN-TIAECAESS [PROVIDENTIAE CAESS]; camp gate, two turrets, no doors, star above, varying number of stone layers. Dot in arch. PLON in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED ISSUE. RIC does not list issue with dot over PLON in mintmark. However, dot in arch is mentioned in footnotes 293 and 296 on p. 116 (for Constantine's I and Constantine's II coins). The relatively large number of known specimens suggests, that dot is not an accidental die crack or an engraver's error. Note that bust type is neither typical B5 nor B3 and could be regarded as an engraver's error. Coin should be listed after LONDON 300.
