RIC VII, ARLES [after 251], CONSTANTINE II, UNLISTED ISSUE [m.m. PAR], BUST TYPE B1 [IRREGULAR COIN]

OBVERSE	CONSTANTINVSIVNNOBS [CONSTANTINVS IVN NOB C; head r., laur.
REVERSE	CAESARVMNOSTRORVM [CAESARVM NOSTRORVM]; in laurel wreath VOT/X. PAR in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED ISSUE. RIC does not list issue with mintmark pattern PAR. However, Bruun mentions in footnotes few coins with irregular m.m. QAR, •SAR•, PAR (cf. p. 261, 263). Probably most coins with m.m. PAR should be regarded as ancient imitations. But some of them may belong to the official unlisted issue. Note crude portrait and lettering. Apparently an ancient imitation.
