There is nothing special about these two coins, but I have not previously had an example of either RIC number. Though I don't really collect many tpes anymore, I still look to acquire and document types for my website, ultimately hoping to get an example of each RIC number.

CONSTAN-TINVS AVG; laureate head right.
