<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tejas, post: 7760082, member: 84905&quot;]I found this coin on Ebay. The condition is not super, but the price was much lower than what I have seen in recent auctions.</p><p><br /></p><p>CONSTANTINVS AVG&nbsp; //&nbsp; DN CONSTANTINI MAX AVG&nbsp;&nbsp; -- VOT XX</p><p><br /></p><p>Year: 320</p><p>Mint: ST&nbsp; Ticinum</p><p><br /></p><p>The special feature here is the radiate crown. The radiate crown was common in the 3rd century, but quickly fell out of use during Constantine&#039;s reign. This is one of only very few bronze types for Constantine that shows the radiate crown. Maybe as a prospective Christian, Constantine didn&#039;t like the association with Sol Invictus.</p><p><br /></p><p>If there are other radiate Constantine&#039;s out there, I would like to see them.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1330280[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
