RIC VI, TREVERI [after 826], CONSTANTINE I, UNLISTED ISSUE

OBVERSE	IMPCONSTANTI-NVSAVG [IMP CONSTANTINVS AVG]; bust l., high-crested helmet, cuir., spear across r. shoulder.
REVERSE	VICTORIAELAETAEPRINCPERP [VICTORIAE LAETAE PRINC PERP]; two Victories stg. facing one another, together holding shield inscribed VOT/PR on altar of varying design. PTR in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED ISSUE. This issue is listed erroneously in RIC VII as regular follis (TRIER 208A, p. 181), but in fact it is "billon argenteus" (c. 25% of silver) and belongs to the group of TREVERI 825-826 in RIC VI. Note that only PTR mark is correct, because of only one officina working then at Treveri. Coin should be listed before TREVERI 825. See also: CORRIGENDA, VOL. VII, p. 181 and CORRIGENDA, VOL. VI, p. 224.
