The Obverse seems to have a countermark which may have caused the Reverse details to be ruined. I have seen similar types but they are all larger, the smallest being called a 1/2 unit. Only 1.22g & 13-14mm Obverse - bust right ( possible countermark ) Reverse - open top wreath As always your help is greatly appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 05/22/2017 09:28 am My best guess would be a VOT type from one of Constantine's boys. Some of their mints used AE4 flans in dies meant for AE3's. I have several similar types where there is no obverse legend because it is off-flan. Report this Post to the Staff
tenbobbit Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 701 Posts	Posted 05/23/2017 05:52 am Thanks for the thought Finn, I have owned several of those types you mentioned and it isn't from the Constantine era, I am pretty sure of that. The Obverse bust is of a more " greek " type, the closest I can find is from Mysia. Not the same type but the bust is very similar. Report this Post to the Staff
