One of my favorite fallen horseman coins. These are pretty common but I like them.

 

Its one of the earlier coins and pretty big.

-CONSTANTIUS II A.D. 337-361 Æ Centenionalis (23) Rev. FEL TEMP REPARATIO, Soldier spearing fallen horseman. Γ in left field. SMKΔ in exergue. Mint of Cyzicus. 5.9gm.

 

That one is pretty cool.

 

If you go back in the archives Jess you will find a terrific thread about these. Its from Doug Smith and others here, and I think you would love it.

 

thanks medoraman... will do!

 

Another one of my favorites, this is an odd coin because of the horses head. Its not as tucked in as most.

 

Heres a couple of mine.

 

Nice coins, I like this series.

Thanks for the link medora man. From the site you posted it says that all these where silvered. I always wondered why this coin looked like it had some silvering on it.

 

very interesting doug I should reread more of your stuff. I learn somethiing everyday. Here is anotherone with traces of silver still on the coin.
