maridvnvm Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2100 Posts	Posted 04/13/2013 10:22 am I had thought that I had bought myself enough LRB and decided not to add any more but when I saw this one I couldn't help myself and bought it along with another couple of LRB. Constantinian Period City Commemorative Obv:â€" CONSTANTINOPOLIS, Helmeted and laureate Constantinopolis bust left Rev:â€" â€", Victory standing left on prow of a galley, holding transverse spear across her body and shield Minted in Lugdunum. dot in Crescent PLG in exe. A.D. 330 - 333 Reference:â€" RIC Lugdunum 256 (R1). Bastien Vol. XIII 222. I thought the bust to be most striking, being somehow enhanced by the flowlines radiating outwards. The reverse is also well executed. The whole coin benefiting from a decent strike and little wear. Martin Report this Post to the Staff

Doucet Pillar of the Community United States 1315 Posts	Posted 04/13/2013 10:47 am Very nice. I haven't been upgrading my collection of these types for a while but this one would surely tempt me as well. I still keep an eye out for the few officinae that seem to be impossible to find. Beautiful coin! Report this Post to the Staff

Gil-galad Pillar of the Community United States 2044 Posts	Posted 04/13/2013 12:43 pm That is a nice coin. I've seen quite a few Lugdunum commemoratives with a nice engraving style. This is another one. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 04/14/2013 09:40 am Almost in 'as struck' condition! All design and legends complete. Metal flow obvious. A die engraver with better than average skill has demonstrated his work with this example. Perhaps I could include this in his resume, if I were to write it! Report this Post to the Staff
