[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 4529322, member: 31620"]Doug has given the answer above but I have this coin to share that arrived this week.... At over 28mm this is much larger than the majority of the GENIO POP ROM coins that I have owned and site in an issue with MARS and PRINCIPI types which are all roughly comparable in size. So these larger coins of Constantine do exist but they are not as prolific as his later, smaller issues.
