[QUOTE="hotwheelsearl, post: 7995813, member: 75143"]Constantius II is, without a doubt the emperor with the easiest to find and most numerous coins of all. They can be found for literal pennies on the pound, and are [I]largely[/I] grouped into a few categories, all of which are very common: FTR (horseman, hut, phoenix, two captives), two soldiers, VOT wreath, campgate, two victories. One of the most uncommon reverse types in the bronze AE3 module of this very common ruler is, somewhat surprisingly, the single victory left reverse. The victory walking left is very common on silver and gold coins, but rather tough to find in bronze. My (rather attractive) example has an oddly shortened legend of just VICT AVG, despite having plenty of room for more letters.
