RIC VII, LYONS [after 218], CONSTANTINE II, MINTMARK VARIETY

OBVERSE	CONSTANTINVSIVNNOBC [CONSTANTINVS IVN NOB C]; bust l., laur., dr., cuir.
REVERSE	CAESARVMNOSTRORVM [CAESARVM NOSTRORVM]; laurel wreath enclosing VOT/•/X/ in three lines. PLGC in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	MINTMARK VARIETY. Specimen similar to LYONS 218 (Roma Numismatics eSale 77, lot1388, 2.92 g, 18 mm) except for dot above X (p. 135). Bastien Lyon (318-337) (p. 168-169, no. 181) records this variety as a sub-type. However, in the present author's opinion this dot is rather a centering dot, merely technical. Otherwise, coin could be listed as a minor variety of LYONS 218 or after LYONS 218.
