Here's a coin from The Bourton-on-the-Water Hoard which was discovered in 1970 in England. The main part of this Constantinian hoard consisted of 2,707 coins and the majority were Sol issues from London and Trier. It was probably buried shortly after the coin reform which introduced the VLPP series, so circa A.D. 318-19.

The obverse legend of this coin is not listed in RIC...RIC only records this coin with the longer IMP LICINIVS P F AVG legend
