RIC VII, ARLES [after 252], CONSTANTINE II, UNLISTED ISSUE, BUST TYPE B1, OFFICINA P [IRREGULAR COIN]

OBVERSE	CONSTANTINVSIVNNCS [CONSTANTINVS IVN N CS (sic!)]; bust r., laur.
REVERSE	CAESARVMNOSTRORVM [CAESARVM NOSTRORVM]; in laurel wreath VOT/X. PAR in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED ISSUE. RIC does not list such m.m. pattern. However, Bruun in footnote 249 on p. 261 mentions other coins "of otherwise regular appearance of irregular m.m. (P, T, QAR and •SAR•)", but claims that these coins "appear to be of no consequence in this context". Note crude style and lettering. Probably an ancient imitation.
