Constantine I MARTI from Arles
« on: April 01, 2014, 09:47:26 AM »
This coin is not listed in RIC for the B4 bust. It should be before Arles 25. It is listed in Ferrando as #346 and Lech has the Ferrando example on his Not in RIC page-

And same obverse die. Probably reverse die too, but harder to affirm.
Great coin.
