RIC VII, LYONS 23, CONSTANTINE I, [CONFIRMATION]

OBVERSE	IMPCONSTANTINVSMAXAVG [IMP CONSTANTINVS MAX AVG]; bust l., laur., cuir., Victory in r. hand, eagle-headed parazonium or pugio in l. hand [I1 l. var.].
REVERSE	SOLIINVIC-TOCOMITI [SOLI INVICTO COMITI]; Sol stg. l., raising r. hand, chlamys across l. shoulder, holding globe. T in left field, F in right field. PLG in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	[CONFIRMATION]. Bastien Lyon (294-316) claims in footnote 1 on p. 251 that unique coin from Paris cited in RIC has quite different bust type. Not I1 l., but rather similar to K4 l. (except for globe with Victory instead of globe only). In Bastien's typology it is bust H*9 ("Buste consulaire lauré à gauche, tenant un sceptre (scipio) de la main gauche et un globe nicéphore de la main droite"). However, it seems that also variety closer to bust type I1 l. exists (for varieties of bust types I1 and I2 see CORRIGENDA, VOL. VII, p. 89-90). See also link below.
