Looks more like Greek_Gamma in the r. field WinkThe attribution to Turkey is not correct because there existed no Turkey at that time.
It does appear to be RIC VI Nicomedia 69c although only officina B is given in RIC. However, the other letters in the RIC 69 group are A,
Greek_Gamma, and Greek_Delta, so it seems the authors of RIC just hadn't seen any specimens of 69c with these letters.
These coins were minted between May 311 and May 313. The use of SMN as the mint signature does happen to start here but is not really time specific.

In 322 AD, Constantine crushed a Sarmatian invasion of the Balkans, an event marked by this coin type.
During this action his army entered the Eastern territories of his co-Emperor Licinius, which triggered
a civil war between east and west. Constantine, as usual, was victorious and emerged as sole ruler of the Roman Empire.

Constantine VIII was crowned emperor when he was an infant; however, for his first 63 years of "rule" he was a junior emperor and rarely played even a minor role in state affairs.
He spent his life in search of pleasure and entertainment, including spectator sports at the Hippodrome, feasting, riding and hunting. After his brother Basil II died,
Constantine was sole emperor for nearly the last three years of his life. He carried on as he always had, enjoying life and avoiding state business as much as possible.
Ineffective and cruel, he allegedly ordered the execution or mutilation of hundreds of innocent men.
