I had one cool Crusader coin (Bohemund VII of Tripolis) 1275-1287 that turned out to be a fake unfortunately. This is the same coin... just an...

I should also add that Constans' name on my coin is in the genitive case - a type only seen on Siscia coins. Not sure why the celators decided on...

Nice coin - congrats!
Trying to think about what to buy next - Tacitus, Florian, and Saloninus are some my 3rd century holes. And, I'm terribly vexed.

Great stuff and a very interesting coin.
