Yikes... sorry!! I should think about putting one of them in the next AMCC, as I don't really need two!

 

This coin is illustrated in two books
Antiochos IX Kyzikenos Ar Tetradrachm Antioch mint 113-112 B.C. Lorber SC 2363a and Hoover HGC 9 1228i 16.71 grms 27 mm

 

Nice!


Constantius II imitation (Failmezger, Plate coin)

Obverse: DN CONSTAN-TIVS PF AVG, Long-necked diademed cuirassed bust right
Reverse: Blundered legend, soldier spearing fallen horseman, Phrygian helmet, sitting on ground, arm(s) up, II left.

Size: 23.49 mm 6.g

Failmezger 462aCS (This Coin)





These 2 FH of Constans were both published in Koinon II, not sure if that counts or not.

 

No need to worry, I already have one, just not this exact type.

Thank you for your excellent post, Andrew! Your coin features a uniquely different portrait of Emperor Vespasian than the one we frequently see of him. Maybe it’s his full head of hair—

I’m privileged to be the curator of a plate coin from David Hendin’s Guide to Biblical Coins 5th Edition.


I haven't contributed to the Ancients Forum recently and I certainly miss you guys! I’m enrolled in a certificate course which has become the focus of my efforts for the time-being. It’s great to visit my old CTAF friends. I’m also putting an effort into cataloging my collection of World War I and II—French numismatic items. I’ve posted a few on the CoinTalk World Coins Forum.

More later!

 

I received the coin today. here is an updated photo.
