UNLISTED BUST TYPE. Not attested for obv. legend 7 (p. 201). Constantine II is dressed as a priest of Sol and is holding sceptre and Sol on globe. Not listed in RMBT (p. 58, no. 200a). Note that m.m. in exergue is shifted to the left and there is not dot and no room for it. However, it could be an engraver's error and this coin in fact belongs to the issue with m.m. •PTR crescent. Othetwise, should be listed in RIC after TRIER 427.
