Hello friends,

I have been a VERY good boy this year and thought that I would help Santa out and give myself a nice present.

This city commemorative was struck in 330AD under Constantine to commemorate the building of the new capital, Constantinople.

I couldn't resist the smooth surfaces and rich dark patina. My photography doesn't nearly do it justice.

Happy Holidays,

-Kurt
