Title: Constantine I CLARITAS REIPVBLICAE from London
Post by: Victor on June 24, 2014, 12:40:45 PM

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  (http://www.forumancientcoins.com/notinric/7lon-119-2.html)

Nice catch,. A double die match?
