« on: December 22, 2021, 08:48:17 AM »

I was sorting through a small pile of Constantine SOLI coins and was checking the reverse legend break on this one and something was off...the legend was wrong.  ;D

Not listed in RIC with this reverse for Constantine I, though a few others are known

CLARITAS REIPVBLICAE; Sol rad., raising r. hand, globe in l.; stg. l., chlamys across l. shoulder, in fields T/F
In ex. BTR
