<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2046770, member: 19463"]This last coin you show has III in the reverse field and A in the obverse field. It is much larger diameter than the 17mm coin you posted first. These were issued at a time of terrible inflation when money issued one day was replaced by smaller and junkier coins in a very short time. The marks in the field make a difference. We did not ID the first because you never showed the obverse and it could be a coin of Constantius Gallus as well. That is why I mentioned the portrait having head gear; only Constantius II does but Gallus is bare headed. You say the front is similar but I doubt it has the A in the field. Yes? Remember that there are estimated to be 2200 versions of the falling horseman coins so you need to be a little specific on the little details to get a solid ID.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
