UNLISTED BUST TYPE - D. Not attested for obv. 1a and this type of rev. (p. 392). But cf. footnote 1 on p. 392: "VG. 51 may stand for a variety with obv. bust (D), off. S or T?".
General note from p. 349: "[...] this issue [...] is also the last of the period. [...] Soli Invicto Comiti was probably struck [...] mainly in Constantine's name, included rare varieties for Maximinus. [...] the coins are scarce. The issue, which was comparatively small, falls in the first half of 313".
See also CORRIGENDA, VOL. VI, p. 391-392. Coin should be listed after ROMA 376.
