Dear board,
I managed to snag a couple of unofficial campgates and were wondering if they really are unofficial. I my opinion they could well be official coins but I was hoping someone could point out why they are currently considered unofficial.
1. Constantine I 307/310-337AD
Rosette diadem bust, CONSTAN-TINVS AVG
Campgate, 6 layers, 2 turrets, star above, no doors, PROVIDEN-TIAE AVGG
dot PTRE
Barbarous, Cf. RIC VII 510 for prototype
19mm, 2.54g
2. Constantine II 316-337AD
Laureate, draped, cuirassed bust left, CONSTANTINVS IVN NOBC
Campgate, 6 layers, 2 turrets, star above, no doors, PROVIDEN-TIAE CAESS
Q star AR
Barbarous, Cf. RIC VII 274 for prototype
20mm, 2.39g
Looking forward to learning a bit more!
Thanks!
Tjaart
