[QUOTE="arnoldoe, post: 2344861, member: 72712"]I just got another coin to complete my set of all 5 of Constantine VII's bronze coins minted in Constantinople. The designs and history of these really moved me along with their adequate shape and suitable metallic composition.:angelic: I thought it would be interesting to collect these since all 5 represent different periods of his reign.
