Constantine II BEATA from London...draped only?
« on: Today at 10:52:48 AM »
I bought this coin because it doesn't have a hint of armor. It's a draped cuirassed bust right; seen from rear. These usually have a small triangular area in front with lines depicting armor; but this one doesn't. I haven't seen a right facing with a decent armor depiction. Probably just poor engraving.
