<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jamesicus, post: 612485, member: 14873&quot;]Yes, large numbers according to Sutherland in RIC, Volume VI. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <b><b>BTW, I wish to thank my fellow Roman coins of the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; London Mint enthusiast and noted numismatist, Lee&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Toone, for granting me permission to quote his&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; following excellent contribution:</b></b>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; <i>&quot;Bastien, in an annexe to a later work, Le&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Monnayage de L&#039;Atelier de Lyons (Wetteren, 1980) -&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Annexe Atelier Continental Sans Marque pp.125-128 and&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Plate LXIX revisits this issue. He reaffirms his view&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; that these coins were minted at an unknown continental&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; mint prior to the invasion and concludes that, in&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; reality, there are only four types RIC 14a, 14b, 17a&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; and 17b. The others listed under Lyons by Sutherland&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; are erroneous, either unofficial, lightly struck LA or&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; LB coins or unmarked London coins. He goes on to&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; catalogue these four types each with two different&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; versions; the first &#039;set&#039; with large heads (&#039;effigies&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; larges&#039;) and the second with small heads (&#039;petites&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; effigies&#039;). It would appear that your Constantius is a&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; large head variety and your Galerius is a small&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; head variety.&quot;</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
