RIC VII, LYONS [after 269], CONSTANS, UNLISTED FOR RULER

OBVERSE	FLIVL[CONSTANS]NOBC [FL IVL CONSTANS NOB C]; bust r., laur., dr., cuir., seen from back.
REVERSE	GLORI-[AEXERC-ITVS] [GLORIA EXERCITVS]; two soldiers stg. facing one another, holding reversed spear and resting hand on shield; between them two standards. [branch]PLG in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED FOR RULER. RIC lists this rare issue only for Constantine II and Constantius II (p. 140). Attribution uncertain. Note, however, that emission with this m.m. (LYONS 268-270) is questionable and all these coins may be regarded as ancient imitations. Intentionally omitted in Bastien Lyon (318-337) (footnote 1 on p. 184). Otherwise, should be listed after LYONS 269. See also: LYONS [before 268], CONSTANTINE I, UNLISTED FOR RULER
