Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 06/04/2008 11:17 am This coin was given to be years ago as an unidentified coin. I believe it is Delmatius, but I haven't a clue where it was minted. What mint do you believe it was from? I know that it may be a bit hard to identify the mint since it is so off center. Thanks!

Victor Pillar of the Community United States 905 Posts	Posted 06/04/2008 11:43 am There is no way that this is Delmatius. You can be sure of that because the obverse legend ends in AVG, Delmatius was only a Caesar. The beginning of the obverse is also clearly DN C, and Delmatius never had a head only type, he was always depicted as cuirassed. I believe this is probably Constantius II. I am not sure of the bust type, but am leaning toward laureate head. If so, your coin was issued from one of the mints around the Propontis (the Sea of Marmara)-- Heraclea, Constantinople, Nicomedia or Cyzicus Report this Post to the Staff

Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 06/04/2008 3:51 pm echizento- thanks for the input. What makes you think that it is Constantius rather than Constantius II? Report this Post to the Staff
