Constantine I, AE silvered follis, Cyzicus [opgelost]

Have a nice weekend to the world.
So third and last, not just me.

I have a problem and I am looking for help , Something is confusing me here and it doesn't fit as it should. it's accurate to the end of the inscription -and mine probably not silvered. ( Patina's original has never been cleaned, which is interesting)

Cyzicus
RIC VI 101b, B
Constantine I, AE silvered follis, Cyzicus, AD 312. IMP C FL VAL CONSTANTINVS PF AVG, laureate head right. / GENIO AVGVSTI, Genius standing left by altar, modius on head, naked but for chlamys over left shoulder (falls low), holding patera and cornucopiae. B in right field. Mintmark SMK. RIC VI Cyzicus 101b.


and here's what doesn't suit me:
,, GENIO AVGVSTI,, -and here's another OA or OH ???

what is wrong or what am I wrong about please?

Not "GENIO AVGVSTI" but "GENIO AVGVSTI CMH", search for RIC VI 103 on wildwinds, yours is RIC VI 103, B which is not on the site but there are examples with other letters. The silver coating must have worn off with time, most of these coins are like yours or with minimal silver left.
I collect and deal in ancient Roman coin. In case you're looking for affordable ancient coins or need any help with the coins you already have send me a message.

​Ah, aha, that'll be the change, thanks, and the silvering was really modest.
I go searching and I have a game for the whole weekend.

Cao and thanks Ivan
