Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 11/30/2022 3:09 pm This one is also Goodwin type E (standing emperor/ cursive m); Album 3504. Goodwin's categories are very broad, assigning the coins to a Byzantine prototype. In the case of this and the first coin today, earlier issues of Constans II. Report this Post to the Staff
