Description
Roman Imperial, Anonymous Issue during the reign of Constantine I, AE4, c. 335, "Lugdunum, Officina 1"
VRBS-ROMA
Helmet with plume, bust of Roma left in imperial mantle
(No legend)
Victory standing facing on prow, head left, scepter in right hand, left hand on shield
PLG in exergue
13mm x 14mm, 1.12g
This specimen falls into a very fuzzy area of coinage, usually referred to as "minimi". The style on the coin looks official, but the flan is drastically undersized. There is no filing on the edges and the flan was intentionally prepared at this size. Also, this specimen mules two contemporary types - the obverse should show Constantinopolis or the reverse should be wolf and twins. An excellent addition to any Late Roman collection for more research.
