FH under Horse

I'm not a devoted collector of the Fallen Horseman series. But this coin caught my attention with the horseman falling unusually under the horse , and still raising hand.
The coin is of oval shape and was struck under Constantius II. It weighs 3.33 g.

Interesting.

 

That is a very interesting stylistic difference on the reverse. I don't think I've seen one where the poor horseman is actually under the horse. So it looks like a very rare variation, maybe even restricted to one die. Definitely a keeper.

 

I don't recall seeing a reverse like this either. Cool possible rarity!

 

Forgive my bad memory but isn't there someone on here who is obsessed with these fallen horseman types? Perhaps they have more info.

 

I'm not seeing the rider under the horse. It looks like an FH4 perhaps Constantinople.

 

My humble search lead me to the nearest match. I scanned the exergue at double size and maximum resolution to detect a clear letter S at the end, as you can see in the following scan. The coin was struck in Constantinople.
RIC VIII - 116 is the nearest possible match. S is utmost down to the right.
Thank you for your concern.

 

Doug's right. Still a neat coin

There's 3 of FH obsessed collectors

 

looks like 116 to me too

 

Beg your pardon. But 116 namely CONSIA in exergue shows the fallen horseman heading left with no raised arm at all. Beside, the OP coin is oval and the portrait is different. I didn't mean to push the thread so long, but that's Numismatics. Details and different opinions or just coin talk.. Cheers.
