UNLISTED OBVERSE LEGEND. RIC lists for this Claritas type only longer obv. legend: CONSTANTINVS IVN NOB CAES (p. 105). Coin probably listed in Bourton Hoard as no. 1486. According to description no. 1486 has Soli... reverse and is not listed in RIC, but such combination (with Soli instead of Claritas) matches LONDON 147. Should be listed after LONDON 131.

NOTES

Diameter 19 mm. Coin sold on eBay in January 2008 for $78.51.
