RIC VI, NICOMEDIA [after 68], CONSTANTINE, UNLISTED FOR RULER, OFFICINA Γ [IRREGULAR COIN]

OBVERSE	IMPCCONSTANTIN[VSPFA]VG [IMP C CONSTANTINVS P F AVG]; head r., laur., dr., cuir.
REVERSE	HERCVLI-VICTORI [HERCVLI VICTORI]; Hercules stg. r., r. behind back, l. leaning on club covered by lion's skin. Γ in left field. SMN in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED FOR RULER. The reverse of this specimen is similar to NICOMEDIA 68 (which is unlisted in RIC for Constantine but attested in this supplement), while the obverse stylistically resembles THESSALONICA 61b and bears the same obv. legend. Possibly made by ancient counterfeiter from dies prepared for two different types. But note that it may be also a modern forgery.
