RIC VII, TRIER 317, CONSTANTINE I, UNLISTED OFFICINA S, REVERSE LEGEND VARIETY, ENGRAVER'S ERROR [IRREGULAR COIN]

OBVERSE	CONSTAN-TINVSAVG [CONSTANTINVS AVG]; head r., laur.
REVERSE	BEATATRAN-QVILLIAS [BEATA TRANQVILLIAS (sic!)]; globe set on altar inscribed VO/TIS/XX; above, three stars. STR in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED OFFICINA S, REVERSE LEGEND VARIETY. RIC lists only officina P (p. 191). Note error in rev. legend: TRANQVILLCAS instead of TRANQVILLITAS. Apparently an engraver's error. Listed in RMBT (p. 32, no. 34; no error in rev. legend). However, probably all known specimens with this m.m. and bust B1 are ancient imitations.
