    :hail: Here are some news

    The last one came out from DW and some brushing :

    constansIIlot1121014.jpg

    On the obverse, the facing head of Constans II ( maybe you can read the letters CON T ) on the right of the "portrait"

    On the reverse the letter "M" ( it is a follis too ) with the legend (AN)NO on the left, regnal year II ? on the right
    There is probably a small cross above the M
    The remnant crust is more likely some copper oxyde with sand, very hard to remove ( unless i use electrolysis...) so we wil let it like that, for the moment :D

    I have decided to continue the experiment with 3 new coins , apparently not in such good shape, we shall see :

    and now they are soaking in Distilled Water , you can see the copper brush i use to clean them :

    I will work on them from now on and report here as usual !

    Thanks for reading
