Constantine I BEATA from Lyon
« on: October 14, 2021, 10:19:32 AM »
This coin is not in RIC for PLG•; though the footnote for 153 says "In L(ondon) 3 specimens..." one with the same mintmark as this coin and also VOT/IS/XX; though the reverse legend is broken as TRA-NQVIL-LITAS. By having it in his footnotes, Bruun seemed to think it was probably irregular and my coin has an unusual bust, so probably unofficial in really nice style.

so probably unofficial.

Probably. I see -NQUILITAS (single "L").

Yes, definitely just one L.
