<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2124346, member: 19463&quot;]The coins of the sons of Constantine the Great can be hard to separate on lower grade coins.&nbsp; Around the reverse edge is CAESARVM NOSTRORVM or &quot;of our Caesars&quot; and was used by each of the then current Caesars.&nbsp;&nbsp; I suggest you research the whole family together rather than just one member whichever you decide is on this coin.&nbsp; It dates from the time when Constantine I was alive and issued coins for each of his family members using the same types.&nbsp; After his death the boys traded in the title Caesar for Augustus, split up the empire and fought with each other.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The type was issued by several mints as shown by the mintmark at the bottom of the reverse.&nbsp; I could not read yours but have no reason to question those who above identified it.&nbsp; These are very common coins in general and few people show interest in collecting them by minor variations.&nbsp; I have a short discussion of Vota coins here:</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/dd09.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/dd09.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/dd09.html</a></p><p>There is one shown for Constantine&#039;s son Crispus that you can compare to John Antony&#039;s coin above.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
