Notes:
*** RARE (R2) + VARIATION !
*** This coin conforms perfectly to RIC VII Siscia 254 (RARE (R2)) except for the following attribute:
- Constantius' Bust looks considerably "slimmer" than known examples of RIC VII Siscia 254 (RARE (R2)) !
* We believe that RIC VII Siscia 254 (RARE (R2)) underwent 2+ Mint Runs, where one of those mint runs used a considerably different bust than the typical (known) examples.
