I was reviewing some coins that I added this year and thought I would post this coin. I was very pleased to add this coin to my London trays as number 140. It is not listed in RIC VII and is a hoard coin and illustrated in "Le Tresor de Saint-Colombier-en-Sarzeau" in Tresor Monetaires II (plate XII). This hoard was discovered in 1976 in France and had 6,427 coins. Of that total, 1,892 were from London. There were 46 folles from A.D. 297- 309 and the rest were from A.D. 309- 313 and the majority were Constantine I.
