RIC VII, ROME 176, CONSTANTINE I, REVERSE LEGEND VARIETY, ENGRAVER'S ERROR

OBVERSE	CONST-ANTINVSAVG [CONSTANTINVS AVG]; bust r., laur. helmet (bowl-shaped with long crest), cuir.
REVERSE	VIRTV-SNVGG [VIRTVS NVGG (sic!)]; camp gate with three turrets, gate closed (arch above); varying number of stone layers. P in left field, R in right field. RT in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	REVERSE LEGEND VARIETY. Specimen similar to ROME 176 except for NVGG in rev. legend instead of AVGG. Apparently an error made by unskilled engraver's apprentice.
