Wow. Being that the coin is already damaged, I think it looks great now. Nice pendant.
BTW, he does have a nice AE3, too: [IMG] AE III Cyzikus mint, A.D. 392-395 Obv: D N ARCADI-VS P F AVG Rev: GLORIA ROMANORVM - Emperor on...
Hard to imagine ordinary people thinking about the glory of Rome while holding a coin depicting the image of a weak, disinterested 17-year-old...
The beard suggests that it is patterned after Tetricus I. For comparison, here's a link to a coin of Tetricus I:...
Here's one, no longer in my collection, that I've often wondered about. Why--and how--would you make half a hole?
Here's some information about this coin: http://www.constantinethegreatcoins.com/fantasycoin/ It's pretty well known; I'm sure there's more...

I apologize for mistyping your handle, but I'm glad I did because I enjoyed the link to the Wikipedia entry about Pellinore. I've been fascinated...
Very helpful site. Thanks, Pillinore.
