A couple of AE4s

I had ordered a couple of AE4s a while ago and had almost given up on one of them ever arriving. The an AE4 thread arrived on the boards and people have been adding to that with some very nice coins. My timing with adding my own new AE4s could therefore have been a little better as some may well be AE4'd out.

Ah well, never mind. I am quite happy with my small additions to my hoard.

Very nice coins as usual, maridvnvm.

 

This was in my collection for a while. I gave it to a very cool CoinTalker as a Christmas present.

 

That's a nice gift indeed.

 

Love the portrait on the "Emperor veiled standing right" coin. Both are excellent.

 

I forgot one:

 

Very nice coins, Martin. I never get tired of these.

 

I have a modest example as well:

 

Hey! I got one of these too.

Same mint but different officina.

 

Whiz: When I saw the reverse on your coin I immediately thought of this:

 

very nice! i recently posted my "hand of god" constatine in another thread, and posted my favorite constantine coin in martins other thread, so here is my second favorite constantine coin..

 

I really like all of your "emperor veiled, standing right" coins. Added to the list

 

My best contribution to this thread.

DV CONSTANTINVS PT AVGG, Veiled bust of Constantine right / Emperor in quadriga right, hand of god reaches him from above, star above, SMANS in exergue. 15mm, 1.72 grams. Antioch mint, RIC 37, minted 337-340 AD.

 

Anoob yours has SMANS not SMANA.

 

Whoops. Thanks Martin! Fixed.

 

Great coins, i like it!!!!!!!!

 

Back for a second look at that emperor standing right coin. I have one of these from an old uncleaned lot lying around somewhere, but compared to Martin's stellar example it barely even qualifies as a coin!
