[CONFIRMATION]. According to Bastien Lyon (294-316) (footnote 3 on p. 258), specimen cited in RIC and listed as LYONS 59 with obv. legend 1c (CONSTANTINVS AVG) actually has obv. legend 1a (IMP CONSTANTINVS AVG).

However, type with obv. legend 1c also exists. Listed in Bastien Lyon - supplément II (p. 135, no. 602α). But note that there is another coin with the same number (602α) in Bastien Lyon - supplément I (p. 49); with different obv. legend and bust. See also CORRIGENDA, VOL. VII, p. 125-126.
