I was lucky to pick this one up within my budget. Coin was sold as Constantius II, but obviously it's Constans. I cannot make out the reverse. Constans. D N CONST-ANS P F AVG, pearl-diademed head right / VOT XX ? within wreath. Mintmark ?. Thoughts on the reverse? Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 08/04/2021 12:40 am Nice addition to your collection. Despite having quite few modern very obvious gross error coins from around the World, I have never had chance to acquire a nice ancient error coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Really appealing especially like the obverse with the clear lettering...Congrats on a nice find! Sorry I cant help with the reverse, I have enough trouble IDing a coin when it has only been hit once!..Paul Report this Post to the Staff
Victor Pillar of the Community United States 905 Posts	Posted 08/04/2021 12:47 pm The reverse is VOT XX MVLT XXX. The only part of the mintmark I can make out doesn't help-- the last letter is a delta; but it's from an Eastern mint, like Nicomedia, Heraclea or Cyzicus. I have an Aurelian with a 180 degree double strike Report this Post to the Staff
travelcoin Pillar of the Community United States 1120 Posts	Posted 08/04/2021 8:22 pm Thank you all for your kind remarks. Victor your expertise is always appreciated. That Aurelian is very cool looking, never seen a 180 quite like that one. Report this Post to the Staff
kiaora New Member Australia 18 Posts	Posted 08/07/2021 12:47 am I think the mint could be Alexandria: the letter before the delta looks like an L (SMAL), and the lettering has the distinctive look of the late Alexandrian bronzes Edited by kiaora 08/07/2021 12:48 am Report this Post to the Staff
