NOT IN RIC

UNLISTED BUST TYPE - B4, HYBRID. RIC lists only bust type B1 for Constantine II. Note error in obv. legend: "CA" instead of "C". Reverse similar to SISCIA 180, but with error in legend: "AVGG" (last "G" retrograde) instead of "AVG". Note also rather crude "raising sun" sign in m.m. Apparently an imitative coin.

NOTES

Coin sold on eBay in September 2013 for USD 75. Ex Rick Morton Collection.
