RIC VII, ARLES [after 263], CONSTANTIUS II, UNLISTED FOR RULER [...NOB C]

OBVERSE	•FLCONSTANTVSNOBC [•FL CONSTANTIVS NOB C]; bust r., laur., dr., cuir., seen from back.
REVERSE	CAESARVMNOSTRORVM [CAESARVM NOSTRORVM]; in laurel wreath VOT/X. Q*AR in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED FOR RULER. RIC lists this issue only for Crispus and Constantine II (p. 262). Note that this coin could be regarded as a hybrid (VOT X for Constantius II is highly unexpected). It suggests, as Bruun said, "that the vota coinage and the Providentiae coinage overlapped" (p. 230). Note dot in obv. legend (not mentioned in RIC). Listed in Collezione Sabetta (p. 191, no. 19). Not listed in Ferrando. Should be listed in RIC after ARLES 263. See also: ARLES [after 263], CONSTANTIUS II, UNLISTED FOR RULER, HYBRID [...NOB CAES]
