    Latest tet is of Constantius I. Majority of his Tets are scarce to rare.

    Got it for under $30.

    Minted I believe the second to last year before Tetradrachms ceased to be minted.

    Fantastic find Mat! Great coin, and fun to be among the last years of minting.

    Very nice add. Strong reverse even though having enough legend that is legible on the obverse is great too.

    I would have guessed Eirene. How do you pick out Homonia if you are not looking at a reference?
