Rare unofficial Constantine II "reduced centenionalis"
« on: October 22, 2012, 03:13:11 PM »
Rarer than the usually imitated series, here is an anepigrahic / CONSTANTINVS AVG imitative AE4. Fanciful mintmark, reverse legend and bust.

I know only one other coin like this one which can be considered as an unofficial strike.


Poor style compared to official and unknown mintmark with this (same) dot.
