RIC VII, ARLES [after 263], CONSTANTINE II, UNLISTED ISSUE [PROVIDENTIA AVGG], HYBRID

OBVERSE	CONSTANTINVSIVNNOBC [CONSTANTINVS IVN NOB C]; bust l., laur., dr., cuir.
REVERSE	PROVIDEN-TIAEAVGG [PROVIDENTIAE AVGG]; gateway with two turrets, star above, no doors, varying number of stone layers. •S*AR in exergue [after ARLES 263].
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED ISSUE. The existence of other specimens with the same m.m. proves that it is unlikely an engraver's error. Additionally, in footnote 257 on p. 262 Bruun mentions one more specimen from Milan (ex Gerin Collection) "with •S*AR". But note that this coin is also hybrid: PROVIDENTIAE AVGG. Not listed in Ferrando. Should be listed in RIC after ARLES 263.
