London or Lugdunum and plenty of Sol

    Happy Saturday,

    Curious if anyone had a view on the below Constantine ae3 in terms of reference. It fits RIC VII London 99 if that's PLN in the exergue and T - F across Sol - which to me however looks more like PLG and just T or F in the left field.

    the above wonderful specimen is joining the rest of the fam:

    Constantine I RIC VII London 10 SOL 313-314
    IMP CONSTANTINVS AVG / SOLI INV-IC-TO COMITI
    S-F across field; Mintmark PLN 23.0mm 2.70g


    [​IMG]
    Constantine RIC VII Trier 42 Sol 313-315
    IMP CONSTANTINVS AVG/ SOLI INV-I-CTO COMITI
    T-F across field; mintmark PTR 23mm 5.68g


    [​IMG]
    Constantine RIC VII Lugdunum 4 Sol 313-315
    IMP CONSTANTINVS AVG / SOLI INVIC-TO COMITI
    S-F across field; mintmark PLG 21.5mm 4.56g


    There is a well known disagreement about coins originating from London or Lugdunum so perhaps figuring out which the original coin is from by reference not that important.

    I know I've shared some of these already, and you likely have shared many of your Constantine coins, would love to see more if you wanted to share.

    Thanks

    It from Lugdunum -- RIC VII Lyons 15 with F-T across fields. I seem to be able to make out the barest hint of an F in the right field.

    Agreed. The style is utterly Lugdunum.
