<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rexesq, post: 1187786, member: 5739&quot;]<b>Iinteresting Constantius II Campgate + London Mint Crispus Follis</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Okay, so here are my last two from this last pickup.... not bad for under $10 each I don&#039;t think..... and I got them because I liked the look, the portrait, the style, the reverse etc.... not because I expected any to be &#039;rare&#039; or &#039;valuable&#039; in a modern sense. I just liked them.</p><p><br /></p><p>So here is the Constantius II Campgate follis, the first 4 pics are of that..... a nice portrait, very pretty, left facing, nice cuirass and drapery, well centered etc..... and a pretty good detailed reverse, I can see it has 4 turrets, and seems to have 6 layers top to bottom, 5 look like they are meant to be solid, the fifth, top one below the turrets, seems different. Also I notice the doors opened to the outside... The only other two campgates I have, one of Constantius II, and one of Constantine II seem to have the doors closed.</p><p><br /></p><p>------------</p><p><br /></p><p>------------</p><p><br /></p><p>This next one, the last photo of them all, is from the London Mint I believe, of Crispus as Caesar... according to the info it came with, not the best of shape, and the hardest to photograph as well, but the PLON is clear in exergue on the reverse. This one came with a date period written on it, but a fairly wide period... here&#039;s the info from the sheet it came with</p><p>----------------</p><p>Crispus as Caesar, AD 316 - 326. </p><p>AE Follis, London Mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>obv: JUL CRISPUS NOB C - Laureate head right.</p><p><br /></p><p>rev: &#039;VOT X&#039; inside wreath, surrounded by: CAESARUM NOSTRORUM</p><p>PLON crescent in exergue.</p><p>----------------</p><p>----------------</p><p>That is all.... all 6, so <u>any</u> help, <u>any</u> feedback, <u>any</u> comments <u>any </u>anything would be appreciated. Thank you all.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also&nbsp; I know I haven&#039;t been posting and contributing as much as I normally do, this has been due to a lengthy trip to Malaysia, and various other complicated life situations.... I doubt my lack of presence was noticed, but still, I will do my best now that I am back to help others in any way I can, the way many people here helped me back in the day <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
