OBVERSE	ANEPIGRAPHIC (no legend); bust l., laur., dr. (?), cuir.
REVERSE	CONSTANI/TINVSI/CAFSAR (sic!) in three lines; star above. PLG• exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED ISSUE. Lyons did not issue this type of dynastic bronzes. Note also errors in rev. legend. See: Lars Ramskold, "Constantine's Vicennalia and the Death of Crispus", Niš and Byzantium XI, 2013, pp. 424-425 and footnote 74. This coin is obviously an ancient imitation. Could be noted in RIC after LYONS 235.
