CONSTAN/TINVS/AVG in three lines; wreath above. SMANTZ in exergue (officina letter uncertain).

NOT IN RIC

UNLISTED BUST TYPE - B2. Not attested for obv. legend 1 (p. 686-687). RIC lists for Constantine only bust type B1 (cf. ANTIOCH 57). But note very light weight. Coin may be regarded as an ancient imitation. Otherwise, should be listed after ANTIOCH 52.

NOTES

Weight 1.37 g. Coin sold on Naville Numismatics auction in July 2014 for GBP 45.
