<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Victor_Clark, post: 26349400, member: 10613&quot;]I just got two more &quot;cool whip&quot; coins</p><p><br /></p><p>The first one I am particularly happy to get. Besides being unlisted in RIC; it puts me over 140 coins for Constantine from the mint of London. It has a rarer radiate helmet and the shield might have soldiers on it; though it is far from clear. It is also a hoard coin from the 17 February 1976 Saint-Colombier-en-Sarzeau Hoard.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1681945[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Constantine I. AD 307/310-337.
