Ex Tkalec (19 February 2001), lot 375.

RIC VII, written before volume VI, assumed the dating of this issue was 311-312 AD, thus the authors expected it to fall into the other volume. However, the authors of volume VI dated the issue to 315 AD, so it should be in RIC VII (cf. RIC VI pg. 688). As a result, neither volume lists this coin.
