Constantine I CONCORD MILIT with unusual helmet

[Victor]

Here is coin that just sold for $333.00. What I find interesting is that it is similar to RIC VI London 203, which has a laurel helmet, but on this example it looks more like a diademed helmet, or a fillet on the helmet. I suspect that this was probably just the engraver being creative, but technically, it is unlisted.

It looks to be a plain diadem or a plain band around the helmet.
I think it depends by the engraver's stylistic freedom.......but t's a "not in RIC"  of course.
