    I have this Constantine I from Trier PTR Dot. I can't find the correct combination of features. It should be like this

    but with PTR Dot.

    My coin is below. Some help would be great.

    That Constantine at the top is mine, surprised you didn't credit me.

    Maybe @Victor_Clark can help.

    I looked at that several times, but the curl on the headdress isn't as long. Is that something I should typically ignore? Thanks for your help and feedback.

    There is always a difference in these details, unless it is a die match, but that does not affect the RIC number.

    In RIC VII, your coin is a D2 bust, which is helmeted and cuirassed, no other conditions.

    I have some pages on bust types in RIC VII, which needs some corrections and updating; but it might help.

    Thanks. That really makes a difference to me. And thanks for the pages on bust types. I have been looking for something like that.

    Sorry, I didn't make the connection. It is very nice and I thought mine was until I saw yours.
