UNLISTED OBVERSE LEGEND AND BUST TYPE. RIC lists only longer obv. legend: CONSTANTINVS MAX AVG. Also bust type B5 is not attested for Constantine I. Note error in obv. legend: "A" in AVG looks rather like "N". Note also very light weight. Apparently an ancient imitation. Could be noted after TRIER 538.
