RIC VII, ARLES 265, CONSTANTINE I, UNLISTED REVERSE

 

OBVERSE

CONSTAN-TINVSAVG [CONSTANTINVS AVG]; bust r., laur., cuir.

REVERSE

PROVIDEN-TIAEAVGG [PROVIDENTIAE AVGG]; gateway with four turrets, no star, no doors, varying numbers of stone layers. T*AR in exergue.

NOT IN RIC

UNLISTED REVERSE. RIC lists Providentiae series only with camp gate with two or three turrets on reverse. Coins with gateway with four turrets struck in Arles have always VIRTVS AVGG (or CAESS) legend. However, except this difference, specimen fits to P*AR issue and could be listed after ARLES 265. On the other hand, there are opinions that this coin is not an official mint product.

NOTES

From Victor Failmezger's collection. Number 353A in his RBC.
