Constantine II AE3. CONSTANTINVS IVN NOB C, laureate, draped & cuirassed bust right / CAESARVM NOSTORVM, wreath around VOT V,

RewCQ in ex.

 

Not bad at all. I wouldn't be ashamed of the wear, that coin has perfect chocolate brown surfaces to make up for it.

 

thanks, yeah it reminds me of a nice idian head cent i have. It was in a four pack for $12, others arent quite so nice.

 

also, forgot to clean the lense, but was a good pic.

 

Pretty good reverse & the very good obverse

I like it also. When was this Constantine II coin made?

 

I think aorund 317 and 337

 

Very decent example, nothing to be ashamed of

Q

 

thanks

 

Randy, Nice! It has an appealing reverse, and good surfaces.
were was the coin minted? Is it a provincial issue?

 

Lovely example :high5:

 

Well it's a coint from when he was still Caesar (note the "NOB C" at the end of the obverse legend rather than "AVG"), which means that it had to have been made at some point between 317 and 337.

 

Thanks, I had put around 320 originaly, but though I was wrong and went back and changed it lol

 

I am rather sure this is RIC volume VII 231 page 320, a rare coin, but missing the officina number at the end of the mintmark which lowers its appeal considerably as does the wear. There should be either a T or Q following the mintmark which I do not make out in the image. RIC dates the issue at 320-321 AD. I collect these and lack this one if you want to trade for something prettier or sell it.

 

thanks, I think its a Q at the end. I dont know if I wana get rid of it but will definatly consider it.
