[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 2157128, member: 31620"]I bought this coin just because the portrait is as sharp as anyone could ask for in a silvered LRB. The reverse has someflatness on Jupiter's head but the coin is just about fully silvered, which is a nice change too. It is worth enlarging the image to allow you to see every hair still in place. [B] Constantine the Great - Follis [/B] Obv:– IMP CONSTANTINVS P F AVG, Laureate cuirassed bust right Rev:- IOVI CONSERVATORI, Jupiter standing left, chlamys across left shoulder, holding Victory on globe and sceptre, eagle with wreath at foot left Minted in Siscis (_ | D / dot SIS dot). A.D. 315-316 Reference(s) – RIC VII Siscia 15 [IMG]http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_160fo_img.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
