CONSTAN-TINVS AVG Laureate head of Constantine I to right. Rev. VROVIEEN-TIVA CVESS / S - F/ NRLT Campgate with no doors and two turrets; above, star. Cf. RIC 301-2 (for possible prototype). Slightly rough, otherwise, extremely fine. From the collection of Dr. L. Ramskold, formed since 1969. This is a mule, with an obverse for Constantine I and a reverse for the Caesars. The style is clearly unofficial, with several errors in the reverse legend and mint mark, indicating a contemporary 'barbarous' imitation. Starting price: 25 CHF |
