Hello ladies and gentlemen,

Trying to catalogue some of my coins and narrow down the exact RIC number.
Have this SOLI INVICTO COMITI, common coin, I know, but what I found in RIC made me think it is not as common as I thought.

I know the rarity index is not accurate, but I am just trying to see if I identified it correctly?

IMP CONSTANTINVS PF AVG, laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right. / SOLI INV-I-CTO COMITI, Sol standing left, chlamys across left shoulder, holding globe and raising right hand. S-F across fields. Mintmark SARL. RIC VII Arles 56.

The pics were taken in a hurry, for my personal catalogue, if needed I can try to take better photos.

Many thanks.

yes, I was just getting ready to post that 56 is seen from the rear.

I don't know why I missed 57 right in front of me and jumped to 56.
I like it anyway, I got a batch with 4 similar types, but different mintmarks and all different, of course, in portraits etc.
Not bad, the batch was cheap and the coins, except for the 2 worn FTR I posted in this forum are not bad quality.
