<p>[QUOTE="Victor_Clark, post: 7430523, member: 10613"]Here is a Constantius II obverse paired with a Constantinopolis reverse. Though listed as a mule (which means official mint mistake) I think that it might just be an unofficial product, for several reasons, not the least of which is that mules are very rare, unless unofficial...then much more common. If unofficial, it is in extraordinarily good style though. I don't think I will ever be completely confident in either answer, but regardless, it is delightful.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1289812[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Constantius II, as Caesar, BI Mule Nummus.
