<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtisimo, post: 2908032, member: 83845&quot;]&quot;Wow&quot; is the same response I had the first time I held an ancient coin and it was no scarcer or better in shape than your OP.&nbsp; That&#039;s true bang for buck IMO.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regardless of the monetary value I think that it&#039;s a great coin also. If your grandmother was religious at all it might have been of significance to her because of the portrait of Constantine who was largely responsible for the rapid spread of Christianity in the 4th century. </p><p><br /></p><p>Even though it&#039;s common this coin is extra interesting because it has the traditional Roman god Sol Invictus (the unconquered sun) on the reverse and was issued AFTER Constantine converted.&nbsp; Sol Invictus was a very popular god with the Roman army and Constantine needed thier support to survive. </p><p><br /></p><p>Owning 1700 years of history and a reminder of your grandmother is priceless!&nbsp; Thanks for sharing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
