<p>[QUOTE="sonlarson, post: 1641649, member: 15488"]The description is for the coin on the bottom. Mine is the one on the top. 5 or 6 years ago I bought a few encrusted coins on the cheap. After several months soaking in distilled water, the one on the top was the only one that revealed anything. The one on the bottom was the only example I could find that seem to match. Took a lot of patience waiting for the dirt to dissolve. I think I might do it again.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]236572.vB[/ATTACH]Bronze AE 3, RIC VII 380, EF, Constantina (Arles) mint, 2.622g, 19.1mm, 180o, 331 - 334 A.D.; obverse CONSTAN-TINOPOLIS, Constantinopolis' helmeted bust left in imperial cloak and holding scepter across left shoulder; reverse Victory standing left, right foot on prow, scepter in right, resting left on grounded shield, wreath containing pellet left, SCONST in ex.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
