Though not listed in RIC, this type was catalogued by Voetter and mentioned by Maurice. Still pretty rare, but I have had two other examples; but this is the nicest one. Seller's description below-- note that Victory is actually holding a palm branch and laurel branch and it is actually E workshop.
Constantine I Æ Nummus. Constantinople, AD 328. Rosette-diademed head right, looking upwards / CONSTANTINIANA DAFNE, Victory seated left on cippus, looking right, palm branch in each hand; trophy in front, at the foot of which kneels a captive, spurned by Victory; B in left field, CONS in exergue. RIC 32 var. (obv. legend); Speck and Huston 32. 3.17g, 21mm, 6h.
