    I just photographed this coin which is an otherwise normal SOLI except for the dot after the S in the left field of the reverse. Perhaps an engraver error or an extra control mark.

    The N of the mintmark also appears to have been engraved over part of a poorly formed N...oops

    Nice pictures and coin I've been looking at a few roman coins it's been at least 10 years since I bought any.

    That jawline on that obverse bust seems a little odd to me for Constantine. A quirky coin for a lot of reasons.
