<p>[QUOTE="ValiantKnight, post: 1957470, member: 44210"]Earlier this year I took a gamble on a 10-coin lot of coins because I saw what looked to be a nice Johannes in the mix. Well today it isn't about that coin! Another attractive coin I received as part of the lot was this follis of Constans II, Byzantine/Eastern Roman emperor. It is definitely a worthy upgrade to the only other Constans II I have. I'm proud to say that the final price divided, I only paid close to $5 for it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie84" alt=":smug:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and the coin I really wanted from the lot did turn out to be Johannes <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>From wiki:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b><u>Constans II</u>, Byzantine Empire (641-668 AD)</b></p><p>AE Follis</p><p><u>Obv</u>: EN TVTO NIKA, crowned, wearing chlamys, no beard, standing, holding long cross and cross on globe</p><p><u>Rev</u>: Large m, ANA in left field, cross (or star) above, NEOC to right</p><p><u>Mint</u>: Constantinople (Mintmark: Gamma II in exergue)</p><p><u>Ref</u>: SB 1000</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa429/LurkingNinja/ConstansII_zps2be91520.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
