Constantine I SOL from Arles with horse
« on: March 16, 2016, 09:33:33 AM »
This coin is not listed in RIC for the obverse legend (1b) or the bust type (G12). It should follow RIC VII Arles 58.  It is listed in Ferrando as #323, illustrated by the same example below, which is a die match with this coin. No measurements were given for the coin.

 Not in RIC example

Maybe a little pricey at $1,048
