I like these "star in field" issues as it is an inexhaustible lode of various Constantine busts and not in RIC coins.

I do have a "similar" to 222 but with the cloak hanging behind which is not in Huvelin (see 122-122b) : http://www.notinric.lechstepniewski.info/6lon222v.html

Unfortunately, not in an excellent condition.

I expect that the new book due out shortly, The London Mint of Constantius and Constantine, will be very helpful for these coins

I hope too! Especially for a global and comprehensive vision  (as possible) of the workshop.
I also dream of an update of the work of H. Huvelin with historical and technical background comparable to the books of P. Bastien.
