<p>[QUOTE=&quot;7Calbrey, post: 2718518, member: 38412&quot;]I just picked up this follis of Constantine II from my old folder. It was struck in Cyzicus and attribution is RIC VII - 63 s.&nbsp; As such, the coin is rated R5.&nbsp; Believed to have been struck in 329 or 330 AD, it should read on reverse Providentiae CAESS ( for Caesar ). Actually Constantine II governed as Caesar from 317 to 337 AD, and as Augustus from 337 to 340 AD. The following coin reads Providentiae AUGG ( Augustus ). It&#039;s the clear example of a mule coin where the reverse should belong to another coin.</p><p>Are mule coins an error by the engraver ? Or do they imply a certain historical meaning ? Please post your comments where you can. Thanks..[ATTACH=full]615225[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]615226[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
