New book on the London mint and a plate coin
« on: November 08, 2023, 01:22:35 PM »
Here's a plate coin for an upcoming book. [Ken Elk's] book on the London mint is due out soon. I don't remember what it is called; but it is abbreviated RML, so I believe it is Roman Mint of London.

We will probably have too many references for London coins now. The book "London Mint of Constantius and Constantine" (LMCC) by Cloke and Toone has a 2nd edition coming out shortly.

Constantine I
A.D. 319
17mm 3.4g
CONSTANTINVS AVG; laureate helmeted and cuirassed bust right.
VICTORIAE LAETAE PRINC PERP; two Victories stg., facing one another, together holding shield/ wreath inscribed VOT PR on decorated altar.
In ex. PLN
RIC VII London 161; LMCC 9.01.011; RML 902 (plate coin)

The upcoming RML book (The Roman Mint of London) is written by Ken Elks.

I think LMCC is such a wonderful reference book, it will definitely be hard to add on anything than what is already there (especially after the upcoming 2nd edition which you mentioned), but I guess we will have to wait and see.

Wonderful coin btw!

thanks for the correction...I thought I saw it was by Dimarzio.
