NOT IN RIC

OBVERSE LEGEND VARIETY. Specimen similar to HERACLEA 138 except for ...CONSTANTINVS... in obv. legend instead of ...CONSTANTIVS... Note that obv. legend for Constantine II is quite different (CONSTANTINVS IVN NOB C) and bust is cuirassed only (B5). Apparently an engraver's error. Note also that star in exergue looks more like dot. Obliterated?
