As Finals Roll to an End...

Hey Guys,
So as finals roll to an end (they end Monday) I was thinking that everyone could post the last (aka final ) minted coin of their choice. You know like the last wheat cent, last Indian head cent etc. Have fun
Thanks,
Jason

Wait, is this a contest or somthin??

 

No

 

Then what is it??

 

no its not a contest I thought people would like to have fun posting pictures of their coins that relate to this topic.
Just because there isn't a prize doesn't mean it isn't fun for people

 

Mint- a place where money is coined.

 

Tough crowd. How about this one? There are bazillions of Constantine the Great coins. On this coin he is depicted in a burial shroud. Could this be the last Constantine coin or are there more minted after it?

This coin depicts the hand of god reaching down to Constantine. I'm told it is the first time a Judeo-Christian image was used on a coin.

"MANVS DEI" the Hand of God. Superb condition & rarely this nice.
Constantine I is depicted in a burial shroud. The Christian is called DV (Divus = the divine one) and shown being welcomed to heaven by God. This coin was minted after Constantine’s death. The obverse depicts the Emperor in a burial shroud and on the reverse the Emperor driving an ascending (Heaven Bound) quadriga to the Judeo-Christian God's waiting hand. The coin also represents the first Judeo-Christian imagery on a coin. Full legend examples are not easily found since the mints of the day were striking very rapidly due to the need for cash to fuel inflation.
