Title: Constans FTR Galley from Cyzicus for ID
Post by: Joshmaggosh on August 08, 2023, 01:08:24 AM

Hi all,
I have this Constans FTR Galley from Cyzicus for ID.

These seem to be rare for Constans from Cyzicus, so there are few for reference and I don’t have the relevant RIC reference. I’ve found some with references without the star and a few with and don’t know if they’re the same reference. I think… RIC 68, is this correct and does anyone have a feel for the relative rarity for mints for Constans galley coins and where Cyzicus ranks in that list?

Thank you!

Yes, your coin is RIC 68, with a workshop not listed in RIC. The Cyzicus FEL TEMP galley type is fairly rare.
