<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Archeocultura, post: 8057006, member: 97204&quot;]I am the lucky one who now owns one of four coins with this very peculiar obverse text issued at Arles in France.</p><p>DN CONSTANTINO IVN NOB C laureate draped and cuirassed bust of the caesar seen from behind to the right.</p><p>VICTORIAE LAETAE PRINC PERP Two victories facing, holding a shield inscribed VOT/PR over an altar. In the exergue: S star-in-crescent A</p><p>The dative form ending in O on the obverse is also seen in Lyon, but never in Arles, apart from this coin. The decoration of the altar with vertical stripes occurs once with a coin of the same series in the name of Constantine Augustus.</p><p>The coin is still &#039; dans son jus&#039;&nbsp; as the French say, but can be restored to its original silver which is present under the green muck.</p><p>Hope you understand my enthousiasm.</p><p><br /></p><p>Frans[ATTACH=full]1396216[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
