Constantine I COMITI AVGG N N from London...cool whip

The COMITI AVGG N N (companion of our Emperors) is different from the regular coinage with Sol; because this reverse has Sol with a cool whip. You have to pronounce "cool whip" like Stewie from Family Guy though.

What a "cool" sub-collection group those examples comprise!

Sadly, I've now realized that all my Sol's are whipless (cool or other wise). ;-(

Perhaps my Sol's had their chariot-driving licenses revoked, and therefore had their whips confiscated.
