    This is a blast from the past. I had almost forgotten about these coins that I shared almost 4 years ago. I've long since sold them to put the money towards the RR core of my collection.

    have just two common VOT Constantine II Follis:
    Gallia, Treveris, 323-324 AD
    19 mm, 3.41 g
    Ref.: RIC VII Trier 433; Sear 17181;
    Ob.: CONSTANTINVS IVN NOB C, laureate head r.
    Rev.: CAESARVM NOSTRORVM around VOT X within wreath. Mintmark STR

    maybe I should try some distilled water on this one:confused:

    and this one is a bit underweight, but I like it because the portrait looks like Augustus:cool:

    Pannonia, Siscia, 320 -321 AD, struck under the authority of Constantinus I

    18 mm, 2.76 g
    Ref.: RIC VII Siscia 163;
    Ob.: CONSTANTINVS IVN NOB C laureate head r.
    Rev.: CAESARVM NOSTRORVM around VOT V in two lines within laurel wreath. Mintmark ΓSIS star

    Here are a couple you don't see too often. They were regular products of the mint at Heraclea, produced in the reduced module AE4 after the death of Constantine. The obverses are those of the Urbs Roma and Constantinopolis city commemoratives, but with Vota reverses. VOT XX; MVLT XXX
