<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Victor_Clark, post: 5160745, member: 10613&quot;]Here&#039;s another coin from London with Constantine really hoping that his army lives up to the implications of the reverse legend...spoiler alert -- it did.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1209900[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Constantine I</p><p>A.D. 310-12</p><p>21x23mm&nbsp;&nbsp; 3.6gm</p><p>CONSTANTINVS P F AVG; laureate helmet and cuirassed bust left with spear pointing forward and shield on left arm.</p><p>CONCORD MILIT; Concordia standing left, holding standard in each hand; ✶ in right field</p><p>In ex. PLN</p><p>RIC VI London –-</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This coin is not listed in RIC with this bust type (CC). It should be listed after London 197. It is in Huvelin as #81. It is in the new London mint book (Lee &amp; Toone) as either 7.04.012 or 7.04.013, the difference being 12 is cuirassed and 13 is draped and cuirassed, with the question being “are all examples actually draped and cuirassed”. On this coin it is too worn to speculate.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1209904[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It came with the old holder above. I have another from the same collection dated 1867. It&#039;s amazing that someone wrote on it in red and then crossed it out-- philistine![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
