Another boring Falling Horseman coin

Thought I would bore you with another FH This one is of Constans, a bit harder to find, but a few probably overpriced ones. Has some silvering left that made it interesting to photograph.

Never bored when nice coins are being shown. Good detail RG.

 

Nice one is he now realy falling, keep on going

 

Ugh... sooooooo boring.
Nice one Randy.

 

I like it Randy! Great detail. Here' one back atcha...

 

Very nice, Randy. Dont see silvered FH often, at least I dont.

 

sweet, sweet coin, randygeki (yummy) ...

man, I need to get more than "1" Fallen Horseman ... brutal, even I'm getting tired of seeing it!!

 

Nothing boring about it, thats whats great about ancients. You can see a hundred of the same coin yet none of them are exactly the same.

 

This reminds me of my favorite Gary Larson cartoon which had the caption: “Carl Sagan as a boy: Look, Betty Sue! There must be dozens and dozens of stars up there!” I feel like a failure because I could not find it online to link here but there must be billions of his cartoons on the Internet.

There are 2200 give or take a few variations of the falling horsemen and quite possibly thousands of examples of some of the common types. I might suggest the above statement be upped by a power of ten or three.

 

Ty all, I hav one of FH of Constans will some silvering left, from the same mint, and 2 others without from Siscia

I loved Gary Larson (and Carl Sagan).

 

Nice FH Randy

Happy B'day my friend !
Q

 

Birthday????

 

Happy Birthday Randy, great details on your new coin, please keep boring us to death..

 

Happy Birthday, randygeki

 

Happy birthday to you

 

Thank you very much!

 

Happy Birthday Randy. Hope you get an ancient coin as a present.

 

I don't get tired of seeing FH's because there is so much variety in the series. The soldier on the OP coin has a nice flowing cape and scabbard, which gives him a sense of forward motion - a nice touch on the part of the engraver. And, as others have mentioned, the silvering also makes the coin special.
