Unlisted Ric VII Cyzicus 38/55 campgate

[tjaart]

Hi all,

I recently bought this campgate from a forum user. As far as I know it is an unlisted hybrid of RIC VII Cyzicus 38 obv with a RIC VII Cyzicus  55 reverse.

FL IVL CONSTANTIVS NOB C
Laureate, draped, cuirassed bust left
Campgate, 7 layers, 2 turrets, star above, no doors, SMK epsilon dot, PROVIDEN-TIAE AVGG
2.5g, 19mm

Is it truly unlisted?

Thanks!

I don't see any picture, but regarding your description, it should be the same coin, officina excepted, as this one : http://www.notinric.lechstepniewski.info/7cyz38-34.html

Opps, my mistake. Here is the image.

Genio, I saw that specific entry but that has an SMKB mintmark instead of SMK epsilon dot. Does that make a difference?

The "Lech's coin" has a SMKB dot m.m. So, it is the same "issue", only the officina is different. Your coin is also hybrid 38/34. Could also be 38/55-57 as at first view 55-57 is a different issue for which only Constantine seems to be concerned but hybrids do exist also with the "new" Constantine bust type. http://www.notinric.lechstepniewski.info/7cyz57-37.html

I just picked up this Constantine II hybrid with the same mintmark

There were definitely some quality control issues.
