CONSTANTINI-ANA DAFNE / CONS• Victory seated left on decorated cippus, head turned right, holding laurel branch in her right hand and palm frond in her left; at her feet, shield; to left, trophy; before, captive kneeling left, head turned right; in field to left, A. RIC -, cf. p. 575 note 38. Very rare. Struck from a somewhat worn and clashed reverse die, otherwise, good very fine.

From the collection of Dr. L. Ramskold, formed since 1969.

The emission 'CONS•' was not included in RIC VII. It is, however, a complete emission, and just like the 'CONS' and the 'CONS✱' emissions, it consisted of 'DAFNE' coins for Constantine I (officinae A, B, D, E & Z) and 'PROVIDENTIAE' coins for the two Caesars (G struck for Constantine Caesar and S for Constantius).
