Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 02/03/2022 7:34 pm I need a little help identifying this one. I'm not entirely convinced that it's even genuine. I can't find a good match for the obverse legend with this Genius reverse. Another factor that I judge to be atypical is its size, which is pretty substantial at about 29 mm in diameter, with a weight that comes in at 8.6 grams. I'd add that there seems to be a few traces of silvering on the obverse. My best guess is that it's (supposed to be) an issue of Constantius I as Caesar.

Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 02/03/2022 8:07 pm @lc, I might isolate this coin from your others for a while. That greenish patina looks pretty stable, but I'm a little concerned about BD.

Victor Pillar of the Community United States 905 Posts	Posted 02/03/2022 8:11 pm It's Constantius I, from Lyon (RIC VI Lyons 6) minted in A.D. 295. The green is stable verdigris. Report this Post to the Staff

JohnConduitt Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 725 Posts	Posted 02/04/2022 5:32 pm I would go with Victor's assessment. The weight seems to be either c9g or c12g http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.6.lug.6 I have 3 Constantius I as Caesar AE1s with Genio reverse, but from London and Trier. They range from 8.5-9.5g and 25-28mm, and the reverses all differ a little from other coins with the same RIC references. Edited by JohnConduitt 02/04/2022 5:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff
