Hi Victor
I've just recently received this very nice Constantine I, - Soli Invictori on the reverse.(//)
The dealer said it was a London mint. Now, all the London minted coins I could find said PLN, but as you see this coin says PLC or G which would indicate Lugdunum. The field marks are S - F which indicate London. Which is it please?
It is the Lyons mint
Constantine I
A.D. 313- 314
CONSTANTINVS P F AVG -- laureate, draped and cuirassed, seen from rear.
SOLI INVIC-TO COMITI -- Sol rad., raising r. hand, globe in l.; stg. l., chlamys across l. shoulder. across fields S and F.
in ex. PLG
RIC VII Lyons 5
The S F in the fields might be an abbreviation for SAECVLI FELICITAS -- Age of Good Fortune
Thank you so much Victor. I thought it might be. But oh dear, I would like a London mint!
