CAESARVMNOSTRORVM [CAESARVM NOSTRORVM]; in laurel wreath VOT/X. Q*AR in exergue.

NOT IN RIC

UNLISTED FOR RULER. RIC lists this issue only for Crispus and Constantine II (p. 262). Note that this coin is a hybrid (VOT X for Constantius II is highly unexpected). It suggests, as Bruun said, "that the vota coinage and the Providentiae coinage overlapped" (p. 230). Note dot in obv. legend (not mentioned in RIC). Coin should be listed after ARLES 263.
