RIC VII, SISCIA 37, CONSTANTINE II, UNLISTED OBVERSE LEGEND, ENGRAVER'S ERROR

OBVERSE	IMPCONSTANTINVSIVNNOBCAES [IMP (sic!) CONSTANTINVS IVN NOB CAES]; bust r., laur., dr., cuir.
REVERSE	CLARITASR-EIPVBLICAE [CLARITAS REIPVBLICAE]; Sol rad., stg. l., raising r. hand, globe in l., chlamys across l. shoulder. ΓSIS in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED OBVERSE LEGEND. Specimen similar to SISCIA 37 except for longer legend IMP CONSTANTINVS IVN NOB CAES. Not attested in RIC VII and apparently unexpected for young Caesar. Therefore must be regarded as an engraver's error on one of the earliest coins minted for Constantine II. Coin should be listed as an interesting variant of SISCIA 37.
