Exergue:     PLN Mint Mark:     PLN Mint:     London Primary Reference:     RIC VII unlisted Photograph Credit:     Beast Coins Source:     http://www.vcoins.com/ancient/beastcoins/store/dynamicIndex.asp Grade:     VF Notes:     Ex Beast Coins VLPP Collection Note: B3 bust type not attested in RIC for this issue. Note: RIC footnotes #164 "is, so to speak, a forewarning of the subsequent issue which was to include obverses of the sons of Constantine". Also, RIC notes for #158, an example with a shield on the altar, referring to the Senckler collection, but was unable to verify. Perhaps this example is another of the "shield on altar" type, as RIC does not describe in any other footnotes a type with large circle and center dot. Jeff Clark agrees with me on the "shield on altar" proposal for this coin.
