COTD / Re: VLPP with Chi-Rho on helmet
« Last post by Nikko on Today at 05:00:44 PM »
I’m incline to think the coin recently sold by Roma has a big star rather than a chi/rho.
These are all the clear specimens of RIC 61 I could find

Another helmet with chi-rho from Siscia (RIC 61). Also off. B, probably the same engraver.

Thanks!
I noticed the two from the French database, but I missed the one on ac search. I will looking for it.
The three coins known to me shared the same obverse die IMHO.

A dream coin for a Constantine I coinage collector.
RIC 84, the third specimen reported with chi-Rho on helmet.

Nice coin but rather the fourth. There are at least two specimens on NVMMVS BIBLE II and one on acsearch. All from officina B, so it was probably an invention of a single engraver.

Unlisted / Re: Constantine I anepigraphic from Nicomedia

I think that it is official. Lots of the anepigraphic coins have cruder busts and sloppy legends. The size and weight are also good.

Could be an imitation? Lettering is uneven and bust style is a bit crude to my eye

this coin has a workshop not listed in RIC. It sold for quite a price also-- £1,100 in the latest Roma auction...quite a bump from 180 euros in a Sol auction in 2023.
