Constantine DAFNE with minor bust variation...adlocutio

[Victor]

This DAFNE coin has a slight bust variation. The left arm (or shoulder) of Constantine is raised. Normally the bust is more truncated, though I have seen similar. Maybe he was doing an adlocutio gesture. Anyway, I think it is a delightful coin! The second picture below is a comparison with the normal type.
