<p>[QUOTE=&quot;randygeki, post: 2741464, member: 13719&quot;]So yesterday I completed my mint set of FTR, 13/13 mints; today I received the upgrade for Constantinople i wanted. The set consists of coins&nbsp; of both Constans and Constantius ii. I may try for a set for each later down the road. There are also plenty variations to collect as well.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/moonmoth/hut_analysis.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/moonmoth/hut_analysis.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/moonmoth/hut_analysis.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The last one I needed was Lyons</p><p>[ATTACH=full]625947[/ATTACH]</p><p>Constans</p><p>officina 1; 348-350 CE 4.13g</p><p>D N CONSTA-NS P F AVG Rosette diademed, draped, cuirassed bust left, globe in right hand.</p><p>FEL TEMP REPAR-ATIO Helmeted soldier, spear in left hand, advancing right, head left; with his right hand he leads a small bare-headed figure from a hut beneath a tree.
