And here is the scan from Supplement 1 (courtesy of Mr. Victor Clark). Coin is 579a: [ATTACH]
The patina and the nice, elegant style of the engraving are just the icing on the cake, I guess :)
A couple weeks ago, CGB auctioned one of the most impressive coins of Constantine that I have ever seen. So, while I usually try to contain my...
I think that to a certain degree their scarcity is also prompted by the fact that these are easily overlooked, as they only appeal to a small...
This one is something that probably interests only enthusiasts of 350s coinage: CONSTANTIUS II AE2 21mm 4g Centenionalis/Maiorina (aVF, patina,...
