RIC VII, TRIER 32, CONSTANTINE I, [CORRECTION]

OBVERSE	CONSTANTI-NVSPFAVG [CONSTANTINVS P F AVG]; head r., laur.
REVERSE	VICTORIACONSTANTINIAVG [VICTORIA CONSTANTINI AVG]; Victory adv. l. with wreath and palm branch, on both sides captive std. on ground. PTR in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	[CORRECTION]. RIC gives rev. legend break: CONSTAN-TINI, but variety with that break probably does not exist. Three specimens cited in RIC (London; Hirsch xxiv, 2586; Basel 10, 769; see below) have rev. legend unbroken. Note that for gold issues different rev. legend break makes in RIC VII a separate entry (cf. RIC VII TRIER 27-31).
