Got a few more FH for the hoard This one, of Gallus, has the rare R-E legend split. The horsemans style is interest as well as the curly tail of the horse (though not too uncommon of features). This one, another Galus (w/ LXXII on rev. left), was only a few bucks. I didn't think I'd even win it with such a low bid. I picked up the last one, rare in RIC, because it was a die match for one I have.
Nice ones. I am always on the look out for sleeper LXXII coins. They do turn up but there are several out there that seem to be at a high premium (particularly the Chi-Rho versions). Here are my Gallus LXXII so far... all were low ball bids.... Siscia Obv:– DN CONSTANTIVS IVN NOB C, Bare, bust draped and cuirassed right; A behind bust Rev:– FEL TEMP REPARATIO, Soldier spearing fallen horseman, who is bare headed, reaching back towards the emperor Minted in Siscia (LXXII | _ // *ASIS crescent), Reference:– RIC VIII Siscia 335 (C). Aquileia Obv:– DN CONSTANTIVS IVN NOB C, Bare, bust draped and cuirassed right; A behind bust Rev:– FEL TEMP REPARATIO, Soldier spearing fallen horseman, who is bare headed, reaching backwards Minted in Aquileia (LXXII | S | _ // AQS), Reference:– RIC VIII Aquileia 194 (C). Obv:– DN CONSTANTIVS IVN NOB C, Bare, bust draped and cuirassed right; A behind bust Rev:– FEL TEMP REPARATIO, Soldier spearing fallen horseman, who is bare headed, reaching backwards Minted in Aquileia (LXXII | Wreath | _ // AQS), Reference:– RIC VIII Aquileia 198 (C).
Thanks all. @Jwt708 102 now I have one other LXXII, of Constantius II D N CONSTAN-TIVS P F AVG, diademed, draped & cuirassed bust right, A behind/ FEL TEMP RE-PARATIO soldier spearing falling enemy horseman, hair straight up, reaching backwards, LXXII to left, S between AQS in ex. RIC Aquileia 193 "The reverse mark LXXII refers to the a standard of 72 coins to the pound. The gold solidus and silver light miliarense were both also struck at this c. 4.5 gram standard."
