RIC VII, LONDON 260, CONSTANTINE II, [CORRECTION]

OBVERSE	CONSTANTI-NVSIVNNC [CONSTANTINVS IVN N C]; bust l., rad., wearing trabea (?), raising r. hand.
REVERSE	BEATTRA-NQLITAS [BEAT TRANQLITAS]; globe on altar inscribed VOT/IS/XX in three lines; above, three stars. F in left field, B in right field. PLON in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	[CORRECTION]. RIC lists this type with bust L5 l. but there is no globe in Caesar's l. hand. Note also that bust could be described as draped and cuirassed and that the decoration on l. arm is not a shield. Listed in Cloke-Toone (9.06.028; not illustrated) with annotation that all known specimens have "no sign of a globe".
