I believe that this coin might be Constantine I, with Nike on the reverse. Heraclea mint. Can anyone attribute it further for me please? RIC No.?

Hi,Chris - I have taken the information that you gave to me and I believe that you are right. Thank-you.
It doesn't appear to be in 'Wildwinds' and I was having trouble locating it anywhere else. Interesting legend "CONSTANTINOPOLI", with bust of Constantinopolis, but still issued by Constantine I. I have some reading to do.
Thank-you again.

Hi TC,
RIC VII, Heraclea 120, Scarce.
Found it on FAC's back catalogue of sold coins.

O.K. - Thanks Tenbobbit. There must be a subtle difference between RIC VII 115 and RIC VII 120. As I do not have access to a RIC Catalogue, can someone please tell me what those differences are so that I may correctly attribute this coin ?
Thanking you,

Thanks, Ron. Yes, I did download the Helvetica files but I was using them incorrectly. I was looking for Constantine I. (et al) and I should have been looking under City Commemoratives, (as you point out). Thanks.
@ Tenbobbit - you are right - my coin does have a 'dot' before 'SMHA' in exergue. I missed that. Thanks.
Thanks, everyone. Great help.

Thanks Ron & apologies TC, I forgot to mention that it was a city commemorative issue  This coin gave me a lot of trouble when I first started collecting LRB's, Obverse - Constantinopli Helmeted bust holding sceptre Reverse - Glori Execitvs Two soldiers with 2 standards   It seems obvious now but I didn't have a clue why I couldn't find it anywhere  Edited by tenbobbit
