Constantine I VLPP with parazonium

[Victor]

Though not completely clear, it looks like Constantine is holding a parazonium (dagger with eagle headed pommel) in his left hand.

Here is another example which clearly shows that Constantine is holding something. Maybe only a mappa, but it looks more like a pommel. This coin is not listed in RIC for the H11 bust, though I have had several and the Bikic-Do hoard had several also.

here's an example from Ticinum with what looks like a parazonium, as it seems you can make out the eagle's head.
