Constantine I anepigraphic from Nicomedia
(1/1)
Victor:
this coin has a workshop not listed in RIC. It sold for quite a price also-- £1,100 in the latest Roma auction...quite a bump from 180 euros in a Sol auction in 2023.

Could be an imitation? Lettering is uneven and bust style is a bit crude to my eye
Victor:
I think that it is official. Lots of the anepigraphic coins have cruder busts and sloppy legends. The size and weight are also good.
