Imitative coin of Constantinus
« on: June 30, 2022, 11:32:31 am »
Hello,

Here is an imitative coin with very nice style on reverse. The weight is 1.45 grs, mint Nicomedia. The emperor seems to be Constantinus I.

Nice coin.  Is it cast?  An increasing number of imitations were cast in the fourth century and the obverse looks to be either cast or very poor strike.

Interesting, its maybe cast. I cant say. There is small details as the dot below the tip of the spear which are very protuding and cant result of a cast.
