I know most of you are sick of FTR's (my last coin posted, a fairly nice FH, only had 2 replies about the coin lol), but thought I'd share a few anyways All are budget examples. The silvering on this one has a nice reddish/copper colored toning, which looks nice in hand. Constantius II DN CONSTAN-TIVS PF AVG pearl-diademed, draped, cuirassed bust right FEL TEMP RE-PARATIO Soldier spearing horseman, no beard, Phrygian helmet, clutching CONSA / Γ left /Dot center Constantinople 106 ex thomas d walker I neat little AE4 of Constans fro Lyons D N CONSTA-NS P F AVG, Rosette diademed, draped & cuirassed bust right FEL TEMP-REPARATIO, Emperor standing left on galley, holding phoenix on Globe, piloted by Victory PLG in ex RIC Lyons 95? and finally, a decent FTR Phoenix type from Arles Constantius II. AE17, Arles. DN CONSTAN-TIVS PF AVG, pearl diademed, draped, cuirassed bust right / FEL TEMP REPARATIO, radiate phoenix standing right on rocky mound. Mintmark SARL palm branch. RIC VIII Arles 110.
As a fellow specialist, I have a great amount of sympathy for these kinds of posts. True numismatics is at work here! Congrats on your new additions.
Congratulations on the new additions. I must have missed your last post, I haven't had a chance to get onto CT much over the last couple of weeks.
A nice group of coins. I particularly like the look of the Arles phoenix. I have had me eye on one but can't persuade myself to pull the trigger.
I did almost get one from Arles with a phoenix on a globe rather than the mound, I do like it more, but price plaid a factor more with this one.
Diameter and weight would help to better id this one. If it fits the 16-18mm range and is around 2-2.5g it's most likely RIC Lugdunum 96 (95 is Constantius II). If it's well below the said dimensions I don't think it's listed in RIC.
