A star.  Star, dot and blanks available, all, as Jaquet said after the workshop letter. RIC Constantinople 81? Maybe 82, never could identify the head-gear on these coins. |

This coin has a pearl-diademed bust. Edit 1: Here is a link to a very detailed page on the differences in bust descriptions. http://www.constantinethegreatcoins.com/busts/Edit 2: That would make it RIC Constantinople 81,I (Volume VIII). Edited by ancientcoinguy

I love the fallen horseman types as well. This one has a particularly bold strike on the reverse.

My memory could be failing (often does)
But isn't CONST the mark for Constantina ie Arles ?
I am not at my sharpest on LRB's !
