UNLISTED BUST TYPE. Not attested in RIC VII. Also not attested in RMBT. But note that according to Lars Ramskold, the obverse of this coin was re-cut from genuine (and unlisted) specimen with shield on l. arm. See: Lars Ramskold, "Highly Deceptive Forgeries of Constantine’s SPES PVBLIC Coinage", The Celator, December 2009, p. 28, 30. Coin should be regarded as a modern forgery.
