    These were the even smaller replacements for the last of the junky Falling Horsemen. I don't have a Constantinople but here are some others:

    Nicomedia

    Cyzicus

    They also come in Julian II but his are no better as is common for junior rulers. Again this is the more common Cyzicus.

    Securitas arrived yesterday. I just love my crappy little rarities. You know, if I won the lottery today, you can bet I'd post some AJ-league coins, but I'd probably hunt down just as many of these obscurities. All the fun is in the hunt...

    Well the Constantius Vota coin arrived today - it's quite nice. Here's a composite of the three coins I bought in this thread, plus another of Constans from a different thread. A handsome quartet of less-than-common LRB's, if I do say so myself. :)
