Constantine I. AD 307/310-337. Æ Follis (17.5mm, 2.52 g, 7h). Londinium (London) mint. Struck circa AD 322-324. Laureate and cuirassed bust left, holding eagle-tipped scepter / Banded globe set on altar inscribed VOT/IS/ XX in three lines; three stars above; F|B//PLON. RIC VII –; RML 1075; C&T 9.06.007; C. King, “The Appleford Hoard” in RBN CXXIII (1977) p. 64, 276-8 corr. (RIC reference; this coin one of). Dark green-brown patina, reverse die wear. VF. Rare.

From the Dr. Malcolm Lyne Collection. Ex 1954 Appleford Hoard (IRBCH 1261).

It is noted in C&T’s note to 9.06.008 that “many of the hoard coins recorded here may by ambiguous” regarding those that are trabeate (C&T 9.06.008) and those that are cuirassed (C&T 9.06.007). With this coin from Appleford, it is clear that King mistakenly recorded this example as trabeate (RIC VII 243) rather than as the cuirassed bust it actually is.
