Hello,

This coin of Constantinus I, what is your opinion about the mint mark? ARL?

here's my example

Constantine I
A.D. 315
20x23mm    3.2g
CONSTANTINVS P AVG; laureate and trabeated bust left.
SOLI INVICTO COMITI; Sol rad., stg. L., raising r. hand, globe in l., chlamys across l. shoulder, across fields S/P.
in ex. MSL
RIC VII London 75 correction; LMCC 8.07.018

RIC lists this coin as cuirassed, when it is actually trabeate.
