Constantine I. AD 307/310-337. Æ Follis (23mm, 3.89 g, 6h). MARTI CONSERVATORI Type. Londinium (London) mint. Struck circa AD 312-313. Radiate, helmeted, and cuirassed bust left, holding spear in right hand over right shoulder, shield on left arm / Mars standing right, holding reversed spear in right hand and shield in left set on ground to right; *|–//PLN. RIC VI –; C&T 7.10.019 (this coin cited and illustrated). Rough green patina. Near VF. Extremely rare.

From the Paul DiMarzio Collection, purchased from Lee Toone (Hookmoor Ancient Coins FPL 1), 12 February 2016. Ex CT Collections.

Unlisted in RIC and Huvelin, and not seen in the major recorded hoards. The obverse die of this coin is the same die that struck the plate coin for C&T 7.03.052, thus providing another link between the left star and right star issues.
