[QUOTE="Heliodromus, post: 7715267, member: 120820"]Nice coin! These London cross/star on altar types are tough to get in nice condition. Sticking with the Constantine theme, here's a 1/8 nummus fraction of Constantine as caesar, RIC VI Trier 746, issued to celebrate his 1st imperial anniversary on 7-25-307. It measures 14mm and weighs in at 1.3g. The reverse type is PLVR NATAL FEL, many happy birthdays, with his natalis imperiii being the birthday being celebrated. Not much to look at, but not a common type. This is ex. Dieter Alten collection, and is plate coin 6.14 from Carl-Friedrich Zschucke's "Die Bronze-Teilstück-Prägungen der römischen Münzstätte Trier". Zschucke was Dieter Alten's friend and would later publish Alten's impressive Trier Beata Tranqvilitas collection, with his friend as posthumous co-author, and subsequently donated the collection to Berlin.
