Hi all,

I just received a nice unofficial Constantine I campgate trying to imitate Arles 264. The giveaway for me was the obverse legend and the non-existent P*AP mintmark.

I was quite happy to get this one as it went for a really low price compared to normal unofficial campgates.

How common is that retrograde N on the obverse in official issues? That's what caught my eye. Nice coin.

the retrograde N is one of the giveaways that it is unoffcial...like the bust, note the forehead and placement of the diadem and of course, the mintmark.
