Constantine II VLPP from London with unusual space in legend

[Victor]

The engraver left a bit of a gap in the obverse legend CONSTANT-INVS; even though he obviously could have used the room as C, the last letter of the legend, is below the bust.

Such gaps are not unusual for this type. Here the bigger one.
