[QUOTE="rexesq, post: 1047282, member: 5739"][b]Nice one.[/b] Great example.... I have a similar one, not nearly as nice as yours, but it must be from another mint... however the mintmark was struck off the coin, so I don't know which one. Mine also has a wreath in the left field of the reverse.... I don't know if that gives any hint as to what mint it was struck at.... --------------------------------------------- obv: CONSTAN-TINOPOLIS - Laureate, helmeted bust left, holding scepter and wearing imperial mantle. rev: Victory standing on prow of galley, holding long scepter in right hand, and resting left hand on shield. In left field, wreath. --------------------------------------------- They have very distinctly different styles, your example and mine. I prefer the style of yours :) Yours also seems to have the legend 'CONSTAN TINOPOLI', whereas mine is 'CONSTAN TINOPOLIS' with an 'S' at the end. I hope your coin is every bit as nice as you expected when you recieve it.[/QUOTE]
