RIC VII, ALEXANDRIA [before 54], CONSTANTINE I, UNLISTED OBVERSE, OFFICINA II

   

OBVERSE

CONSTAN-TINVSAVG [CONSTANTINVS AVG]; head r., laur.

REVERSE

PROVIDEN-TIAEAVGG [PROVIDENTIAE AVGG]; camp gate with two turrets, no doors, varying number of stone layers; star above. Wreath in left field, II in right field. SMAL• in exergue.

NOT IN RIC

UNLISTED OBVERSE. There is an asymmetry in RIC between first part of this issue [without dot after SMAL in exergue] and the second one [with dot after SMAL]. Near all types are common for both parts and only this obverse (legend and portrait) RIC lists exclusively for the first part (p. 710). Also LRBC omits this obverse for Constantine (p. 32). Coin should be listed before ALEXANDRIA 54 [and in LRBC before 1424].
