Luckily, a fellow CTer who knew I wanted the coin informed me that it was available in a dealer&#039;s inventory and I purchased it.</p><p><br /></p><p>As my collection is fairly small, this is my only coin from the argenteus family. It is also my only coin that depicts a campgate.</p><p><br /></p><p><b><font size="4">Constantine I (AD 307/310-337)</font></b></p><p><font size="4">AR Half Argenteus</font></p><p><font size="4">[ATTACH=full]1328115[/ATTACH] </font></p><p><font size="4"><b>Date: </b>AD 306-307</font></p><p><font size="4"><b>Obv: </b>IMP CONSTANTINVS AVG, laureate and cuirassed bust right, slight drapery on left shoulder.</font></p><p><font size="4"><b>Rev: </b>VIRTVS MILITVM, four-turreted campgate; no doors; TR.</font></p><p><font size="4"><b>Diameter: </b>15mm</font></p><p><font size="4"><b>Weight: </b>1.6 grams</font></p><p><font size="4"><b>Mint: </b>Trier mint, 1st officina</font></p><p><font size="4">Ex Praefectus Coins</font></p><p><font size="4">Ex Gorny &amp; Mosch Auction 276 (19 April 2021), lot 645.</font></p><p><font size="4">Ex Credit Suisse Bern Auction 4 (4 December 1985), lot 624.</font></p><p><font size="4">Ex British Museum</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
