<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 2717590, member: 31620&quot;]In a thread here recently I noticed that I didn&#039;t have many Rome mint examples of CtG and decided to remedy the situation. I stumbled across the following example that seemed to fit the bill.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is a common type but a nicely struck example in good style on a large flan. There is some wear on the high points but there is still lots of golden toned silvering in the fields. I know that partial silvering can be a distraction but I don&#039;t find it too bad here.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Constantine the Great - Reduced follis</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>Obv:– IMP CONSTANTINVS PF AVG, Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right</p><p>Rev:– SOLI IN -VI-CTO COMITI, Sol standing left holding globe in left and raising right, chlamys across left shoulder</p><p>Minted in Rome (S | F //RP).</p><p>Reference:– RIC VII Rome 33 (C3).</p><p><br /></p><p>Large flan. Residual golden toned silvering in the fields.</p><p><br /></p><p>3.49 gms. 21.79 mm generally but 23.55 mm at the sprue</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_160gi_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Martin[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
