Constantine I CLARITAS REIPVBLICAE from London

This one just sold for $11.50...it was misdescribed as a SOLI INVICTO COMITI. The CLARITAS type is not listed for these field marks (cf RIC 120 for a Sol type) but is recorded for the next (cf RIC 124, crescent in left)

Lech already has an example on his Not in RIC page

Nice catch,. A double die match?
