UNLISTED OBVERSE LEGEND. Not attested for this issue (p. 190) and not recorded in RIC VII. But cf. footnote 312 on p. 191: "Some of the obv. busts recorded for Constantine II have not been found: CONSTANTINVS IVN N C COS II, bust K3 l. (CG) and the same bust with CONSTANTINVS IVN N COS II (Maur., loc. cit., rev. V. 43 and CG)." Note error in rev. legend which was probably caused by double strike. Listed in RMBT (p. 66, no. 32; this coin). Coin should be listed before TRIER 326.
