RIC VII, ARLES 295, CONSTANTINE II, UNLISTED OFFICINA S [IRREGULAR COIN]

OBVERSE	CONSTANTINVSIVNNOC [CONSTANTINVS IVN NO (sic!) C]; bust r., laur., dr., cuir., seen from back.
REVERSE	VIRTVS-CAESS [VIRTVS CAESS]; gateway with wide open doors of varying design, four turrets, varying number of stone layers, star above. SA[crescent]RL in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED OFFICINA - S. RIC lists unique specimen from officina T: "battered, very thin, unusually small flan" (p. 265). Also this coin is very light and small. Type listed as non confirmed in Ferrando (p. 366, no. 2056). Additionally, note error in obv. legend: ...NO C instead of ...NOB C. Possibly both coins should be regarded as ancient imitations.
