Note: Although of quite official looking style, the exergual mark is unknown for regular Arles issues, the reverse is usually for Constantine I and there is always a star on campgates of Constantine and his family once the campgate reverse was officially rolled out to the rest of the empire in 324 (Heraclea minted campgates from 313 and on and Rome was experimenting with different types before the rollout). Also note, there is no officina mark on this coin. Much more research is needed.
