And the Constantine version of the above coin. This is the coin that started me collecting bronzes of CtG. I found it in a batch of uncleaned...
Beautiful coin. Congratulations.
The coin itself is pretty beat up, but I've always been fond of this portrait of Claudius II ("Gothicus") [ATTACH]
But the obverse looks much more like Hadrian. I don't see any trace of a beard. I agree that the reverse is not Sabina. Perhaps it's a local...
Thank you for explaining this and for the paper, @Severus Alexander.
Congratulations on acquiring a great coin. When you add the information to the photo, the convention is to list the years of the reign after the...

Thanks to the help I received from @Ed Snible, I now know that this coin (below) is from Knidos, in Caria. My question is: what denomination...
Nice coin. Congratulations on its liberation. I'm a bit dim about this, but I can't figure out how they can determine that a coin rated CH Fine...
I recently won a lot of Greek silver fractions from Roma. I'm just now getting around to IDing them. Here's a quick shot of them that I made when...
