CI - H/S MATRI PATRI PROPVGNATORI
« on: July 18, 2021, 01:47:36 PM »
I already had a nice example of this coin, with still a lot of silvering remaining, in my collection. It is RIC 295 (bust A) with the laureated draped example looking right and seen from the rear.  However, recently I bought another one just for the different bust. It is, in my opinion a right looking draped and cuirassed bust (should be bust (C)). The fantastic "Not in RIC website" mentions bust types B and D, but not C. I think my example completes all possible variations for this issue (mentioning A tm E, with E being veiled for Constantius I). Do you agree? I make mistake with bust types quite often...

Regards,
Adriaan
