[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 2174171, member: 31620"]I find the TF issue of interest. Doug's coin has reminded me why. Whilst the majority of the coins from this issue have the same engraving style as all the issues thus far, there are coins from this issue that have the somewhat peculiar eye illustrated on Doug's coin and on my coin below. Are these the same engraver? The reason I mention them is that during this issue there are coins also produced for Licinius, which all have the same, odd eyes. These are generally quite scarcer than the Constantine coins from Lugdunum. A selection illustrated below to demonstrate what I mean. TF with what I call "Normal" style [IMG]http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/normal_RI_160fn_img.jpg[/IMG] Draped bust with the odd eye similar to that shown by Doug.
