<p>[QUOTE="Nathan401, post: 2974649, member: 77976"]This was one of those coins that i just had to have once I saw it. It's my first campgate, and the details on both sides of the coin really amazed me. I love that lots of the bronze shows through the tone, and gives a good appearance of what these looked like when they circulated in the marketplace. This was in John Anthony's last auction, and it was his opinion that this coin showed no ( or almost no)evidence of past cleaning and I'd have to agree. Somehow it was well preservered for centuries. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]730584[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]730585[/ATTACH] </p><p>Constantine II Caesar, AD 324-337; AE19, 3.4g </p><p>Truer Mint AD 327-328</p><p>Obv: FLIVL CONSTANTIVS NOB C</p><p>Laureate, draped and cuirassesed bust right.</p><p>Rev: PROVIDENTIAE CAESS</p><p>Campgate with two turrets and one star above// dot PTRE</p><p>Reference: RIC VII 514, p.213</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for another great coin John!!
