Another new horseman for me. This time an earlyish issue that has passed me by thus far despite having bid on a few. This one has been heavily overcleaned but I am sure that it will tone down over the next decade or so..... Constantius II - AE2 Obv:- D N CONSTANTIVS P F AVG, pearl diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right Rev:- FEL TEMP RE-PARATIO, Helmeted soldier left, shield on left arm, spearing falling horseman; shield at ground to right. Horseman falls forward clutching his horse. He is bare headed Minted in Alexandria (* | _ // ALEA). A.D. 348-350 References:- RIC VIII Alexandria 46 (R) 5.77 gms. 23.72 mm. 180 degrees
I don't mind bare metal on coins that are in really nice condition, such as yours. I think it looks great. Nice acquisition.
