REVERSE	VIRTVS-CAESN [VIRTVS CAES N]; Gateway with wide open doors, four turrets, star above. CONS in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED ISSUE. Mintmark appropriate for Constantinople but type of rev. suggests Arles. Note strange legends: CONSTANTINVS IV NO C (or IVN O C instead of IVN N C) and VIRTVS CAES N (or CAIS N or even CAISA). No officina letter. Obviously an ancient imitation.
