[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 3209068, member: 85693"]Those are some lovely London issues, Sallent. I just got my first London mint issue in the mail yesterday (eBay bottom-feeding). While trying to attribute it I came across your post. Mine is, I think, just like your top example, except mine isn't nearly so pretty. But I think you might have an error in your attribution - yours (and mine) are radiate, not helmeted. I think this would make them RIC 255 (there are two bust types, seen from front and seen from behind - ours are both from back, from what I can tell). I am pretty inexperienced at LRB attributions, but I thought I'd mention it. Here is mine, with attribution: [ATTACH=full]832721[/ATTACH] [B]Constantine II Æ 20 (322-323 A.D.) London mint [/B] CONSTANTI-NVS IVN N C, radiate, draped, cuirassed bust left, seen from back / BEAT TRA-NQLITAS, altar inscribed VOT-IS-XX, F-B across fields, three stars above, PLON in exergue. RIC VII London 255. (3.53 grams / 18 mm)[/QUOTE]
