Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 09/28/2014 07:25 am I have this (poor quality) coin and I cannot identify it, so I am asking for help. The coin is AE11, and it weighs 1.9 gm (in it's present state) On the reverse I can see Soldier with sheild about to spear prisoner on ground. On the Obverse I can see a bust (facing R.) with wreath?

Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 09/28/2014 08:26 am It looks like a well-worn and overly-cleaned Constantius II FEL TEMP REPARATIO AE-3 with reverse of a Roman soldier spearing a fallen Persian horseman. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff

maridvnvm Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2100 Posts	Posted 09/28/2014 4:56 pm There is legend remaining to the right of the bust which shows TIVS. This narrows the emperor right down. The reverse type is quite distinctive provided you know what you are looking at. Report this Post to the Staff
Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 09/28/2014 6:54 pm Thanks, one and all. Esp. Maridvnvm for the schematic. (Point taken, Paul.) You guys (gals) have helped me with a number of 'lost causes', and I am always amazed (like P.A.). I only have a few more. and I am already (now) taking Pish's advice and getting coins with pictures (and hopefully legends) on them. (Note change in signature.) Thanks, again, Edited by Topcat7 09/28/2014 6:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff
