I love how great of detail these coins have. This is one of my favorite designs even if it is fairly common.

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.
