RIC VII, TRIER 548, CONSTANTINOPOLIS, MINTMARK VARIETY [IRREGULAR COIN]

OBVERSE	CONSTAN-TINOPOL [CONSTANTINOPOL (sic!)]; bust l., laur. helmet, wearing imperial cloak, reversed spear.
REVERSE	Victory stg. l. on prow, holding spear and shield. Star in left field. TRP in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	MINTMARK VARIETY. Specimen similar to TRIER 548 except for star in l. field (cf. ARLES 352 and two issues from Trier: TRIER 554 with wreath in l. field and TRIER 563 with branch in l. field). Note also error in obv. legend: CONSTANTINOPOL instead of CONSTANTINOPOLIS. Apparently an ancient imitation.
