UNLISTED ISSUE. RIC lists similar unmarked issue only for Treveri [TREVERI 886-895] (p. 227). For London mint similar issue with Sol was first noted in: G. Gautier, "An Unpublished Nummus of Constantine I of the Mint of London", Numismatic Chronicle 1992, p. 157-160. See also CORRIGENDA, VOL. VI, p. 227. Not listed in Cloke-Toone. Note that this attribution is highly uncertain and coin could be regarded as a part of Treveran emission. Should be listed in RIC after LONDINIUM 132.
