<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 8239238, member: 97383&quot;]Helio., Nice score on the early Constantine nummus <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Constantine looks much older than his age on this hefty coin <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Pictured below are 3 coins I&#039;ve posted before but will post again since they fit this thread. The 1st coin I won from a CNG auction about 12 years ago, it&#039;s the oldest Constantine nummus in my collection. The 2nd coin has an impressive portrait with unusually fine die work on both sides. The obverse inscription layout is done with great care. The 3rd coin is the only London mint nummus I have.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1450003[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>Constantine I as Caesar, AD 306-309 (struck AD 306-early 307), Trier Mint, 1st Officina.
