Nessie5991 New Member United Kingdom 1 Posts	Posted 12/29/2019 1:21 pm I believe this is a Glory of the Army follis from the era of Constantine I. Two soldiers with spears face each other, with a standard in the middle. I have researched but ultimately, can't decide it is is an imitation. The coin is slightly bigger than a current British 5 pence. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated, thank you Report this Post to the Staff

Maybe you could post a more in focus reverse?...Paul Report this Post to the Staff
