<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 4862036, member: 97383"]I recently scored a very common but attractive Constantine the Great billon "Camp Gate" centenionalis from the Trier Mint. This coin type is among the most common of all issues of Constantine, never the less it was bargain priced (less than the cost of encapsulation) & has a stern, determined image of Constantine. The coin has striking weakness on the reverse & a flan crack. These smaller size nummi have a different subject matter on the reverse, no longer do we see pagan gods represented as on the coin below it, also from the Trier Mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1174341[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>Constantine I, AD 307-337 (struck 327-328), Trier Mint, 2nd Officina, Billon Centenionalis: 3.03 gm, 20 mm, 6 h.
