<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 2992470, member: 31620&quot;]I have just photographed a Constantius Chlorus Ant. from Lugdunum. It comes from the last issue pre-reform. This issue seems to be generally quite scarce. The more common depiction of Pax with Victoriola is replaced with an olive branch in these later issues.</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin has patchy silvering which really detracts from the look making it quite unattractive.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Constantius Chlorus, Antoninianus</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Obv:– CONSTANTIVS NOB C, Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right</p><p>Rev:– PAX AVGG, Pax, standing left, holding olive branch and scepter</p><p>Minted in Lugdunum (//A).
