I've heard of being 2 faced but this is ridiculous!

    20171213_140153-COLLAGE.jpg Here is a triple striked Constantius ii that I got in a large lot of 3rd and 4th century emperors I purchased a while back. I don't know much about the frequency of these being made and just happened upon this one. Post your multi faced/struck coins.

    It's hard to tell much about your coin due to the glare off the plastic.

    @Ryro I am not able to see any pics / files from your last post. I can barely make out a double-strike in your first pics... is that what you are referring?

    I have a doublestrike of a double-face Januform from the Roman Republic that I recently posted:

    RR M Furius ERROR DOUBLE-STRIKE AR Den 119 BC 3.8g 20mm Janus Trophy Carnyx S 156 Cr 281-1.jpg
    RR M Furius ERROR DOUBLE-STRIKE AR Denarius 119 BCE 3.8g 20mm Janus Trophy Carnyx Sear 156 Cr 281-1
    Should look like:
    RR M Furius LF Philus AR Denarius 119 BCE Janus Sear 156.jpg

    Wow! Yes, it is the double strike, (I actually believe my Constantius ii is a triple strike) but not nearly as cool or old as that there piece of Roman republic silver you have. Very funny of the celetor as well. You have a 4 faced Janus!
