<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orange Julius, post: 3558511, member: 77226&quot;]Here&#039;s one for all of those fallen horseman fans out there. Since FH coins are ultra common, I thought it may be fun to have a post for one RIC number and see what other examples are out there to show.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Please post your Constantinople RIC 82 fallen horseman!</b></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]945990[/ATTACH]</p><p>*Please note that the spear goes all the way through this poor barbarian. This is my favorite detail of this coin. Haha.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Constantius II</b></p><p>AE2, Constantinople.</p><p>DN CONSTANTIVS PF AVG, pearl diademed, draped, cuirassed bust right.</p><p>FEl TEMP RE-PARATIO, soldier standing left with lace-up boots,</p><p>spearing fallen horseman who is bearded, bare-headed, reaching backwards.</p><p>Gamma in left field.</p><p>Mintmark CONSA (or H) star. (*edited)</p><p>RIC VIII Constantinople 82.</p><p>At 6.5 grams... this one&#039;s a beefy one</p><p><br /></p><p>An interesting note from a listing on FORVM: (edit: which is not as relevant to my coin as mine does not include the “I” but may still apply when trying to decide “A” vs “H”)</p><p><br /></p><p><i>The final A in the mintmark appears as H, but it must be a carelessly engraved A because IA is the officina (workshop) mark and there were only eleven officina in operation. IA is the Greek numeral eleven. IH is the Greek numeral eighteen. Open topped A&#039;s are not unusual in this period.</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
