The Bourton-on-the-Water Hoard was discovered in 1970 in England. The main part of this Constantinian hoard consisted of 2,707 coins and the majority were Sol issues from London and Trier. It was probably buried shortly after the coin reform which introduced the VLPP series, so circa A.D. 318-19.

RIC VI London –

 

This coin is not listed in RIC with this bust type (CC). It should be listed after London 197. It is in Huvelin as #81. It is in the new London mint book as either 7.04.012 or 7.04.013, the difference being 12 is cuirassed and 13 is draped and cuirassed, with the question being “are all examples actually draped and cuirassed”. On this coin it is too worn to speculate. It also has an old holder.
