CRISPUS VOT X
« on: April 01, 2015, 09:12:31 AM »
Here is a Crispus AE3 Follis/Nummus which I think it's a bit scarce:

CRISPUS AE3 19mm 2.93g Follis/Nummus

AV: CRISPVS NOB CAES; laureate, cuirassed, spear pointing forwards, shield on left arm bust l.

REV: DOMINOR·NOSTROR·CAESS; VOT / · / X / crescent inside wreath.

EXE: ST, Ticinum mint.

REF: RIC VII Ticinum 171, rated R4 (rare) 322-325AD.

Rare bust type for the series.

I have seen another 6 or 7 specs but this bust type tends to be infrequent for this type.

It was also a real bargain as it apparently flew beneath the radar.
