Post by: Victor on July 27, 2024, 03:08:59 PM

I just won these coins from Leu that are ex Lars Ramskold. Both are also ex Mazzini and the first is a plate coin in MONETE IMPERIALE ROMANE (1957- 1958) which is a five volume set of the finest private collection of Roman coins with over 8000 coins. I don't have Mazzini; but the only volume I am interested in is vol. V; but you never find the set broken up.

Constantine I
Half follis
15mm 1.7g
A.D. 313
IMP CONSTANTINVS P F AVG; bare head right.
FVNDAT PACIS; Mars advancing right with trophy over left shoulder, dragging captive.
in ex. RT
RIC VII Rome 12; Mazzini V, pl. XX, 157 (this coin)

Constantine I
A.D. 313
Half follis
18mm 1.3g
IMP CONSTANTINVS P F AVG; bare head right.
GLORIA PERPET; Two victories advancing right, both holding wreath and palm frond, standard between them

and this one to complete the set
