<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsimonel, post: 8220939, member: 82549&quot;]There are silver-washed coins from around this time--the one below from A.D. 324-5 is in my collection--but I&#039;ve never seen one from this anepigraphic series:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1443794[/ATTACH] </p><p>Cyzicus mint, A.D. 324-325</p><p>RIC 155</p><p>Obv: CONSTAN-TINVS AVG</p><p>Rev: PROVIDEN-TIAE AVGG - Campgate with 2 turrets, star above</p><p>SMKE• in exergue</p><p>20 x 18 mm, 2.1 g.</p><p><br /></p><p>I went back and looked at my anepigraphic coin. In indoor light it&#039;s very dark, almost black. But in direct sunlight, which is how I photographed it, it&#039;s lighter, brighter and shinier. It does not look like bronze, but whether it&#039;s an oxidized silver wash or a later, external deposit, I can&#039;t say.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
