Yet another FH for my collection This one has an unusual field mark. The "E" in FEL appears to be an F as well.
A note in RIC comments on this issue having 'notably rough style'. I see that on mine but not on Randy's. I also am failing to find Randy's coin in RIC but mine is there. Where is it Randy? Have you cataloged it yet? RIC 115 does not have the <; RIC 127 does but is FH3. Great coin!
Been looking but that is all I could find as well. I was waiting to say its an unlisted variant until I was sure.
It is in RIC, Failmezger and Vagi so it is hardly unlisted. I still have failed to find one not in a museum but I do not have the library to make that significant.
Constantius-II, eh? => man, here we go again, my patient coin-friends ... CONSTANTIUS II SILVERED AE2 (Maiorina/Centenonialis) Heraclea mint, 1st Office 348-351 AD Diameter: Large size: 22 mm Weight: 5.1 grams Obverse: : D N CONSTANTIVS P F AVG. Pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust to right Reverse: FEL TEMP REPARATIO, soldier standing left, knee raised, spearing fallen horseman and is reaching backwards. Left field: Star. Mintmark SMHA in exergue Reference: RIC VIII 67
This reply was intended for a different thread. My error, sorry. Here I should point out that my copy of RIC clearly shows 115 as an ordinary E not an E<. Dane's and Randy's coins suggest it is a typo (unless someone has one with a plain E).
nice lookin' coin RG, and sweet field mark..whatever the heck that is...good score. here's my last of the type, a nice AE 2...
