RIC VII, LYONS [after 185], CONSTANTINE II, UNLISTED BUST TYPE [L2 l. var.]

OBVERSE	CONSTANTINVSIVNNOBC [CONSTANTINVS IVN NOB C]; bust l., laur., cuir., raising r. hand, pugio (or parazonium) in l. hand [L2 l. var.].
REVERSE	BEATATRAN-QVILLITAS [BEATA TRANQVILLITAS]; globe set on altar inscribed VO/TIS/XX in three lines; above, three stars. C in left field, R in right field. PLG in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED BUST TYPE - L2 l. var.. Not attested for obv. legend 7c (p. 133). Similar to bust L2 except for pugio/parazonium in l. hand. The variety itself is somehow similar to LYONS 185 but according to Bastien Lyon (318-337) (footnote 1 on p. 159) unique specimen cited in RIC was incorrectly described (bust L2). Listed in Bastien Lyon (318-337) (p. 159, no. 131). Should be listed in RIC as corrected LYONS 185 or after LYONS 185.
