Matt2018 Valued Member 181 Posts	Posted 01/25/2018 8:58 pm I have seen many constantine coins and I have a few but none of them look anything like this This is a Constanintopolis city AE3 commemorative Victory in prow 16-17 MM 1.87 grams circa 330-333AD Thessalina mint. Does this appear authentic to all of you or could it be fake? I dont see why anyone would want to fake it looking like this. ty in advance Edited by Matt2018 01/26/2018 12:07 am Report this Post to the Staff

Matt2018 Valued Member 181 Posts	Posted 01/27/2018 12:02 pm I always wondered that about Nero. Did he not care? Is this image actually flattering compared to what he really looked like?! (was he even heavier than this image on his coin? did he execute the minter who made it? Report this Post to the Staff
