RIC VI, SISCIA [after 155], CONSTANTIUS, UNLISTED ISSUE [VICTORIA AVGG]

OBVERSE	CONSTAN-TIVSAVG [CONSTANTIVS AVG]; head r., laur.
REVERSE	VICTORI-AAVGG [VICTORIA AVGG]; four-turreted camp-gate, open, without doors; two dots above entrance. SIS in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED ISSUE. RIC does not lists any silver issue for Group II, i.e. also for Constantius. However, footnote 1 on p. 473 reads as follows: "Madrid has a coin with obv. Constan-tius Aug, r., laur., and rev. Victori-a Augg, SIS [in exergue], four-turreted camp-gate, as in issues (v) and (vi) of Group I. This appears to be unique: it might suggest a silver issue in 305-06, but constitutes very slender evidence". This specimen seems to be another example of this rare issue. Note also two dots above entrance. Listed in Gautier Argent (294-312) (p. 439, no. 193). Should be listed in RIC after SISCIA 155.
