Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 03/17/2019 10:44 pm I picked up this totally unattributed specimen at a club coin show today as a half price "clearance" item. I realize that issues of this emperor are extremely commonplace, but this particular one interested me for being in really decent condition, and having a quite legible mint mark. It's only about 15 mm in diameter. But for having a dot instead of an "N" in the center of the reverse, it seems to me to most closely correspond to RIC VIII 188 (Siscia).

pilegicvs Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 03/19/2019 06:14 am I've always been interested in the "centering dot" found on many of these coins. 15mm is in the average size range for Constantius II, my smallest is 13mm., a VOT XX type. (The 2 Victories really look like they're going head to head in a horseshoe game.) Report this Post to the Staff
