Constans and Victory on Galley

Here is my Constans ae3 Obv.: DN CONSTANS PF AVG, pearl diademed draped bust rt. FEL TEMP REPATIO, Constans standing left on galley, holding phoenix on globe and holding a Chi-Rho on banner; Victory sits at the stern, steering the galley. S 3973var and I think it is RIC VIII 199v. Siscia Mint (BSIS?); is it a backwards R maybe? Check out the detail of the reverse. The celetor fit a lot in very small space!

Here is close up of the reverse.

 

Nice one! I can't tell what the control mark is.

 

Good detail TJ, but I can't tell the control mark either. Take a look on Helvetica's. There are some special symbols associated with the Siscia mint.

 

The first R in REPARATIO sure does look backward, but that means the punch would have been engraved that way, so there might be other examples from the same officina?

Very nice coin.

 

Very cool lookin' coin, TJC ... Victory steering the galley is a winner!!
