4.04.006.5 CONSTANTINVS NOBILISSIM C Bust B3. Found by a detectorist in the Selby, North Yorkshire area (27.9 mm 8.70g 6h) PAS SWYOR-3FF057. A new obverse legend ending for Constantine the Great although previously known for Severus (4.02.018) and for Maximinus (4.03.026)

5.03.003 (add to footnote): 5.03.003 (2) ROMA XIII Lot 1260 (27.01 x 28.51mm 6.99 g). Mistakenly omitted from LMCC II although it had appeared in Supplement No. 1 to LMCC I, this example features bust variety B2.2, a particularly ornate cuirass. See LMCC II, pp 90-91 for definitions of bust sub-types. Image courtesy of ROMA Numismatics. Constantine held his first consulship in AD 307. It would be appropriate for him to celebrate this on a coin of the second reduction which also features designs celebrating his new alliance with Maximian and shortly before he begins using the title Augustus on his coinage. None of the examples of 5.03.003 in the census hoards feature a consular cuirass.
5.03.004.5 FL VAL CONSTANTINVS NOB C Bust B5. (23mm circle of dots 7.56g) bust B5. Ex Dimarco. This form of elaborate drapery is analogous to the consular types used on early coins of the first tetrarchy (see Figure 15, p. 34, and 1.03.004 example 2, on p. 103). This is a more fully developed consular cuirass than that featured on the second example of 5.03.003 noted above.

7.03.045 (2) This example is the BoW hoard coin which was subsequently offered for sale by London Ancient Coins on their VCoins site in 2025 (21mm 4.91g 6h). Struck from different dies to the LMCC plate coin. An associated ticket gives a later find date than the main hoard in 1974 and it is recorded in Burge 1987 as #17.

7.06.002 The footnote to this type refers to an example known with a missing star. These images show this coin and another that has recently come to light. Both struck from the same obverse and reverse dies. They are either a die engraver's error or the result of a clogged die. It is fanciful to suggest that they might be a new type.

7.07.016 This reference coin was later sold at CNG 564 lot 675 ex Lyne with a mistaken correction. Misled by the RML reference, CNG stated, "RML 467 (forthcoming); C&T 7.07.016 corr. (not draped)". Our entry clearly refers to additional drapery on the reverse, not on the obverse bust. Our entry remains correct.
