RIC 82
VICT LAETAE PRINC PERP die match of Constantine the Great

    These two examples of RIC VII Siscia 82 are obverse die matches. Officina B is unlisted in RIC, in fact, the only officina listed for this series is  A, and it is an r5 (only one example seen). So, this is a fairly rare series, which means a die match is not a big surprise. The more common a coin, the less likely it is to find a die match, since many dies were created. For a rare series like this, fewer dies were made. The obverse die, because it was securely positioned on the anvil, also lasted longer; so more obverse matches can be expected.
