MART–I – PACIF from London
« on: September 30, 2023, 01:34:20 PM »
My newest acquisition, a scare typer from London with Constantine as a caesar. RIC 130, C&T 5.03.008.  I always have a special interest in coins with C as a C.  Have not seen the type in the large DiMarzio auction.

Nice coin. Of course it is RIC 94. What do you mean by "C as a C."? Every Constantine's coin has "C as a C".

Exactly! Constantine as a Caesar. Just as I like coins of Constantius I as Augustus. And of course it is RIC 94! It appears that these scarce coins of late 307 and Mars reverses can be seen in the light of the reconciliation between C and Maximian (for who these coins were also struck).

Nice coin!

Do happen to have the size/weight available? It looks like it might have been struck on a flan produced for the preceding 24mm PRD issue.

Here's my specimen of the type, which I've shown before. It seems to be a double die link to your coin!
