RIC VII, CONSTANTINOPLE [after 113], DELMATIUS, REVERSE LEGEND VARIETY

REVERSE	PRINCIPI-IV-VE-NTVTIS [PRINCIPI IVVENTVTIS]; prince stg. l. in military dress, holding vexillum with r. hand, long sceptre with l. hand; behind, two standards. CONS in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	REVERSE LEGEND VARIETY. Specimen similar to CONSTANTINOPLE 113 except for rev. legend breaks I-IV-VE-N instead of I-IVVE-N. For gold issues different rev. legend break makes sometimes a separate entry in RIC (cf. CONSTANTINOPLE 95 and CONSTANTINOPLE 96). Therefore coin could be listed after CONSTANTINOPLE 113.
