RIC VII, TICINUM [before 198], CONSTANTINE I, UNLISTED OBVERSE LEGEND AND REVERSE TYPE [IRREGULAR COIN]

CONSTAN-TINVSAG [CONSTANTINVS AG]; head r., laur.

REVERSE

CONSTANTINIMAXAG [CONSTANTINI MAX AG]; laurel wreath eclosing VOT/XX. T [crescent] T in exergue.

NOT IN RIC

UNLISTED OBVERSE LEGEND AND REVERSE TYPE. Obverse legend CONSTANTINVS AG is not listed for Ticinum, however, is listed for London (e.g. LONDON 59). Reverse legend CONSTANTINI MAX AG is not listed at all. Also reverse type does not match the mintmark; last time this type was in use with a somewhat similar mintmark, but with crescent in field, not in exergue [TICINUM 167]. Coin should be regarded as extremely irregular, minted probably in Britain.

NOTES
