UNLISTED OBVERSE LEGEND AND BUST TYPE - B5 l. Obv. legend and bust type are not attested for this issue (p. 214). Note crude style on obv. and shortened legends: CONSTANTINVS IVN instead of CONSTANTINVS IVN NOB C and GLOR EXERCIT instead of GLORIA EXERCITVS. Obviously an ancient imitation. See also CORRIGENDA, VOL. VII, p. 214. Coin could be noted after TRIER 520.
