Unlisted field mark V. RIC VIII Constantinople 81 unlisted var. This issue is listed only for a Γ in the left field. This is clearly a V. Another one (same officina and fieldmark, also with lots of silvering, but not a die match) was bought in June 1999 by Jay, aka caesar7. His has the same mintmark.

Note re RIC 112-114: RIC describes the letter in the left field as a B. Sometimes this letter is what we would call a normal B, however sometimes, it is simply a D with a crossbar across the centre. I also have one with a D in the left field (without crossbar)

1. RIC does not list this hairstyle for this series.
2. I have often suggested that officina marks were struck separately. Seeing as only theΓ is struck twice here and not the entire mintmark, maybe this is yet more support for this theory.

The Є is smaller than usual because there is little room between the spear and the soldier's knee. There is also a smaller dot (not dirt) just above the horse's back. The diadem is more like a pearled band than the normal double row of pearls. I was very excited about getting this one in an uncleaned lot.

NOTE: The following coins listed as RIC 135 are split into two series. The first series corresponds with the description in RIC, the second is an unlisted series. This second series are the combination of 1) dot in the centre instead of at the end of the mintmark and 2) the reverse break of FEL TEMP-REPARATIO. I have seen about half a dozen of these coins from most officinae. This series is not listed in RIC and should be placed between RIC 135 and 137.
