Hey y'all! Finding one of these in general is a bit hard. So I saw this on @Brian Bucklan site and bought it. Easy. Not complaining. No brainer right there. Really stoked about this little coin. It looks better in hand! Check it out: Constantine I AE Half-nummus 330 AD Constantinople mint, commemorative issue, 14mm, 1.1g Obv: POP ROMANVS; draoed bust of Genius facing to the left, conucopiae on shoulder Rev: Milvian Bridge over the River Tiber, CONS-H above bridge
There is no real reason to believe that this coin has anything to do with the Milvian Bridge. I have mentioned this a few times here and have a bit about it on my page-- http://www.constantinethegreatcoins.com/comm/
I came up with my theory and even added a poll. Commemorative Series Mint Constantinople 330 AD Obvs: POP ROMANVS, Draped bust of genius left, cornucopia over shoulder. Revs: Bridge over river, CONS ϴ above. AE 15mm, 0.98g Ref: RIC VIII.21
Great pick up for the price... I guess I just missed it as I was on the site twice that day - poor timing I guess? Pretty amazing you have it in hand so quick? But good for you for sure!!! Super cool coin.
