RIC VI, NICOMEDIA 69c, CONSTANTINE, UNLISTED OFFICINA Γ

OBVERSE	IMPCFLVALCONSTANTINVSPFAVG [IMP C FL VAL CONSTANTINVS P F AVG]; head r., laur.
REVERSE	IOVICONS-ERVATORI [IOVI CONSERVATORI]; Jupiter stg. l., chlamys hanging behind, r. holding Victory on globe, l. leaning on sceptre. Γ in right field. SMN in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED OFFICINA - Γ. RIC lists only officina B (p. 566), but probably in error and officina Γ could be the only one attested so far. General note from p. 551: "Iovi Conservatori and Virtuti Exercitus both appear for Licinius and Maximinus, emissions for the former being the more scarce: coinage for Constantine is extremely rare. [...] Date, c. 311". See also CORRIGENDA, VOL. VI, p. 566.
