[QUOTE="Topcat7, post: 2978692, member: 73372"]I believe this coin to be one of (the many) Constantine I (The Great). I believe that we have an obverse legend of CONSTANTI_NVS MAX AVG around a rosette and diademed draped and cuirassed bust of Constantine, facing right. On the reverse, I believe that we have two soldiers with spears and shields and two standards (with dots on) facing each other. The mintmark appears to be 'off-flan' but there does appear to be an 'M' at the base of the standards between the soldiers. Is this the mintmark, or part of the mintmark, or an officina letter? Does this assist in determining the mint? Any thoughts will help, thank-you. [ATTACH=full]732420[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]732427[/ATTACH] Perhaps it is not an 'M'? (In hand it looks like one.)[/QUOTE]
