pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 12/13/2014 5:43 pm Help! Bought this as I don't have a Chlorus. I can't find a reference to it. Looked at RIC and it doesn't list the legend. Can anyone help? Does the coin look OK? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261686777...RK:MEBIDX:IT Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 12/13/2014 5:59 pm It's not Constantius I, it's Constantine I. I believe it's RIC VII Nicomedia 12 Report this Post to the Staff

pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 12/13/2014 6:20 pm I have loads of Constantine I coins, but mostly the legends are non-existant. OK so it is not a Chlorus but it will replace a duff coin. I am happy enough. Report this Post to the Staff

Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 12/14/2014 02:26 am That legend appears on Ric 12a (Serdica) and the coin could be Ric 3 (VII, Cyzicus)? but what do I know. I can't even work out how to read RIC. Edited by Topcat7 12/14/2014 03:03 am Report this Post to the Staff
Biancasdad Pillar of the Community United States 1045 Posts	Posted 12/14/2014 03:47 am I think echizento is spot on, mint mark SMN is 100% Nicodemia. Legends, field mark, and bust type all say RIC 12 Edited by Biancasdad 12/14/2014 03:49 am Report this Post to the Staff
Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 12/14/2014 04:33 am Perfect match to RIC#12 Nicomedia as shown at Wildwinds. Wildwinds description does not match the obverse inscription/text posted with it though. Sear[ME]#15943 combines RIC#12 and RIC#14 with the description "officina mark A-Z in right field" and adds 'Nicomedia AD313-17' Report this Post to the Staff

This might be interpreted as an act of 'lese majeste' ! We are going to have to fix this problem soon before the "coin police" find out and take you in for questioning Report this Post to the Staff
