                                Description

                           Constans, 337-350 A.D.
                     AE 4 of Cyzicus, Sear #3970 (sim.)
                     Grades EF - Nice High Grade Bronze

     Roman bronzes of the 4th century are fairly common in lower
     grades - VG/Fine and thereabouts. However, pieces in EF are much
     more difficult to come by in any quantity. Here is a beautiful
     bronze AE4 (diameter = 16mm, or about the size of a U.S. half
     dime) of Constans, youngest son of Constantine the Great. Sharp
     hairlines, clear inscriptions, nearly perfect centering, and a
     strong strike make this coin stand out as a superbly
     well-preserved specimen of later Roman bronze coinage. The image
     (greatly enlarged to show the detail) speaks for itself.

     Obverse: Diademmed, draped, cuirassed bust right.
     D.N.CONSTANS.P.F.AVG.

     Reverse: Two soldiers standing either side of standard.
     GLORIA.EXERCITVS.; SM.K.B. in exergue.

     Grades EF -- dark glossy brown surfaces on the obverse, and light
     roughness on the reverse which does not significantly obscure the
     details. Let the image be your guide when bidding.

                  Bidding starts at A DOLLAR. NO RESERVE.

     All items offered for sale are guaranteed genuine and as
     described. Shipping Terms: Within the US: Uninsured shipping add
     $0.55, insured shipping add $1.50, registered mail add $6.50. Our
     standard shipping day is Saturday. Contact me for international
     terms. Please visit our website. Thanks for your bid!
