<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gavin Richardson, post: 3275023, member: 83956&quot;]I really should know the answer to this question, but I confess I do not. Pictured are two coins, both of Constantine with the Sol reverse, and both from the first officina of the Lugdunum mint. But they are obviously two different sizes. The larger one (22 mm; 5.18 g) was struck 313-314 AD; the smaller one (19 mm: 3.27 g) was struck in 316 AD.&nbsp; Can somebody offer an explanation for the two different sizes? What’s the historical or economic context for the change?</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, pile on here with anything you want. But here’s a challenge, should you choose to accept it: post two coins of the same type, but of different denominational sizes.[ATTACH=full]864655[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
