RIC VII, ROME 25, CONSTANTINE I, REVERSE VARIETY

  

OBVERSE

IMPCONSTANTINVSPFAVG [IMP CONSTANTINVS P F AVG]; bust r., laur., dr., cuir.

REVERSE

MARTICON-SERVATORI [MARTI CONSERVATORI]; Mars, helmeted, in military dress, stg. l., head facing, reversed spear in r. hand, l. on shield set on ground. R in left field, F in right field. R*P in exergue.

REVERSE VARIETY. Coin similar to ROME 25 (ANS, 1944.100.6127, 3.11 g, 20.5 mm) except for head facing instead of looking r. (p. 299). It could be a separate variety (cf. RIC VI, p. 298, TICINUM 133), but this detail may be also regarded as a result of tooling (helmet still points to r.).
