From the collection of Dr. L. Ramskold, formed since 1969.
When Bruun compiled RIC VII, he was aware of a single coin from the R(palm)P emission featuring Constantine I, listed by him as RIC VII 372. Today, all types from this emission have been attested, yet they remain very rare, with only a handful known of each type. Ramskold (2020) subsequently revised the dating of this emission to 331-333.
