<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 1678059, member: 44316&quot;]The size labeled &quot;AE4&quot; declines over time. It generally refers to the smallest coin denomination issued and AE3 to the next size up.&nbsp; In the era of Constantine, 17 mm is close to the borderline. Since these are usually 15 mm and rarely, if ever, reach 17 mm, they are AE4s in Sear&#039;s book. If you were talking about 5th century AE4s, they would be smaller and some of the larger (uncommon) types of that century can be called &quot;AE3&quot; when they only 15 mm because they are larger than the common 12 mm &quot;AE4&quot; types alongside them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
