RIC Volume VI, Londinium, Group I, (i), folles, No 1 - 5 , c. 297,were the first folles produced at the London mint under the auspices of Constantius. They featured truncated bare neck, laureate busts, and strong, right facing portraits. The inscriptional lettering was London style small, thick and compact. The reverse depicted a personification of the genius of the Roman people and was marked LON in the exergue. (11.0 - 9.5 gm).
