Constantine I - LIBERTAS PVBLICA

[Nikko]

I already had a nice specimen of this type in my colelction, but i couldn't miss a so nice one for 45$.

CONSTANTINVS MAX AVG, head with rosette diadem
LIBERTAS PVBLICA Victory standing left on galley, wreath in both hands

RIC VII Constantinople 25

I have always liked this type, with the reference to the the naval victory of Crispus. Below is your coins brother, with laureate head, RIC 18.

I like it very much too. A very stylish reverse design.

I noticed that the rosette diadem has laurel leaves also, while the LIBERTAS i already have in my collection has a plain rosette diadem.
It's an interesting detail.

The mint at Constantinople used many different styles for the diadem, for example, for the DAFNE issue, Speck & Huston in Constantine's Dafne Coinage at Constantinople noted 28 dfferent variations of the diadem.

I like them too. Congratulations, nice samples.
