Title: HAIL Caeser, I mean JON...
Post by: jtalbot0001 on October 26, 2011, 07:53:30 PM
I managed to find this yesterday afternoon after a few hours detecting before I got HAILED on and drenched, but well worth it I say :) It has to be my second best Roman Coin ever, for condition wise, its near perfect, practically minted before it was lost I say. Not the best pictures, sorry, the camera doesnt do it justice.

It's a commemorative issue with winged Victory and showing Constantine, minted in Germany in 332-333AD.
