Helmeted and cuirassed bust of Constantine to left, holding spear over his right shoulder and decorated shield on his left; around, imitative legend. Rev. Two victories standing facing each other and holding shield inscribed VI/OP over altar; around, imitative legend and mintmark. Slightly rough, otherwise, good very fine. From the collection of Dr. L.
