OBVERSE	CONSTANTINVSPAVG [CONSTANTINVS P AVG]; bust r., laur., cuir.
REVERSE	CLARITASREIPVBLICE [CLARITAS REIPVBLICE (sic!)]; Sol stg. l., chlamys across l. shoulder, raising r. hand, globe in l. S in left field, P in right field. PLN in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED REVERSE LEGEND, ENGRAVER'S ERROR. Specimen similar to LONDON 102 except for ...REIPVBLICE in rev. legend instead of REIPVBLICAE. See footnote to LONDON 101 on p. 103: "In Mun, a rev legend CLARITAS REIPVBLICE (sic), unless the latter part of last A and the entire E have been obliterated, which appears unlikely in the light of the condition of the coin". Error is present on coins from different dies so it could be a permanent mistake done by a poorly literate engraver. Listed in Cloke-Toone as a minor variant together with LONDON 102 (Addenda 8.09.003 (2)).
