Constantine I Sol from Lyons holding horse with bridle

Here is an unlisted coin that I did not see on Ebay...thanks to Vincent for sending me the information. It sold for $260.00, which is not bad for this very rare type. This coin should come after Lyons 22. Note that the shield has a horseman leaping over a fallen enemy.
