CONSTAN-TINVSAVG [CONSTANTINVS AVG]; head r., laur.

REVERSE

DOMINORNOSTRORVM• [DOMINOR NOSTRORVM•]; in laurel wreath VOT/XX. 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.

Apparently an ancient imitation.

NOTES

Diameter 20 mm. From FORVM ANCIENT COINS; Rupert's collection.
