[QUOTE="cmezner, post: 8499666, member: 87809"]Recently I have been looking for a Crispus coin and got this one, Treveri mint, at the ANA fair from the H&B pick bin :-) Crispus was killed by his father Constantine the Great. Interestingly, the bust on this coin has what is known as "Treveri fur" (“Trierer Pelzchen”) and it was only used on coinage of the three sons of Constantine I: Constantin II, Constantius II and Crispus at the Treveri mint two officinas: P and S. However, its meaning hasn’t been determined yet. Æ Follis Gallia, Treveri, 325-326 AD, mint mark -/-/ PTR <crescent> P = Prima, 1st Officina under the authority of Constantine I 2.8 g RIC VII Trier 462 Ob.: FL IVL CRISPVS NOB CAES laureate, draped cuirassed bust left with “Trier Pelzchen" Rv.: PROVIDENTIAE CAESS, camp gate, 2 turrets with dot above, 6 layers, star above, no doors, PTR <crescent> in ex. [ATTACH=full]1503655[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1503656[/ATTACH] Please share your Crispus coins or anything you find relevant :)[/QUOTE]
