RIC VII, CONSTANTINOPLE 127A, CONSTANTIUS II, UNLISTED OFFICINA IA

OBVERSE	ANEPIGRAPHIC (no legend); head r. with plain diadem, looking upwards.
REVERSE	CONSTAN-TIVSCAESAR [CONSTANTIVS CAESAR]; Victory advancing l., holding wreath, palm branch. CONSIA in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED OFFICINA - IA. RIC lists this type in "Addenda and Corrigenda" (p. 719), but only officina I is attested (rev. legend break N-T-I). Note that Bruun apparently mixes two separate emissions with m.m. CONSA. Emission 6 (335-336) in Ramskold - Constantinople silver. Note that so far two different rev. legend breaks are attested: N-T and I-V, which could make in RIC two separate entries (cf. TRIER 18-21 or CONSTANTINOPLE 93-94).
