<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Severus Alexander, post: 3769598, member: 84744&quot;]I recently got a spectacular London coin, thanks to a tip from [USER=87659]@Caesar_Augustus[/USER].&nbsp; It came in a group lot for peanuts:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1008529[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The LON folles are the earliest products of the mint after Constantius took the island back from Allectus.&nbsp; They are very rare.&nbsp; This one (according to Hugh Cloke) is among the earliest, before the design had been fully settled (also note the anomalous &quot;N&quot; in the mintmark).&nbsp; The genius with draped loins is adapted from the Carusius/Allectus coinage and disappeared right away.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hugh hadn&#039;t seen another example like this before, and it will appear in the supplement to their catalogue with a brand new number.&nbsp; So this is the first public appearance of Cloke &amp; Toone 1.01.002A (Maximianus). <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>(Special thanks to [USER=14873]@jamesicus[/USER] for making me [and many others here] a fan of the London mint coinage!)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
