This coin that just sold for 234.00 euros is not in RIC for the H11 bust and obverse legend. It should come after RIC 80. It is not listed in Bastien either.

CONSTANTI-NVS AVG; high crested helmet, cuirassed bust left with spear over right shoulder.
VICTORIAE LAET PRINC PERP; two Victories stg., facing one another, together holding shield inscribed VOT PR on altar.
in ex. P [2 captives] L

The seller had it misattributed as RIC VII 66; but it seems plenty of people knew otherwise.

Yes, much more than i expected! by the way, it's an extremely rare coin, maybe unique.
