Dot in centre
Mintmark CONSI

RIC VIII Constantinople 135 var (fieldmark), Rare

Submitted by David Ruckser, October 2009

Notes
Although the CONSI with dot in centre is known, the thing to
note on this coin is the reverse break of TEMP-REPARATIO which, on Fel Temps of Constantinople was only used on those 
listed under RIC 135 and later. 
Many of these also have letters in the left field, e.g. the
dot-M-dot types (Fel Temps RIC 137 to 148).

This coin, as well as a similar one in my own collection 
(but CONS delta), with the same reverse break appears to be 
part of a series which is not listed in RIC and which should
be placed between RIC 135 (dot at the end of the mintmark but
no fieldmark) and 137 (start of the dot M dot series).
