I was going to start a new thread then remembered that this thread existed. I have managed to get hold of a couple of examples relevant to this thread.


Constans - AE3
 
Obv:- DN CONSTA-NS PF AVG, pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right,
Rev:- FEL TEMP-REPARATIO, Nimbate Phoenix standing right on ile of rocks
Minted in Siscia; (_ Sym2 //BSIS), A.D. 348-350
Reference:– RIC VIII Siscia 247 (C)

0 degrees. 2.59 gms. 19.28 mm

I suspect that the silvering is not ancient




Constans - AE3
Obv:- DN CONSTA-NS PF AVG, rosette-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right,
Rev:- FEL TEMP-REPARATIO, emperor in military dress standing left on galley, holding Phoenix on globe and labarum, Victory sitting at the stern, steering the ship
Minted in Siscia; (Sym4 _ //DSIS), A.D. 348-350
Reference:– RIC VIII Siscia 248 corr. (err. in RIC right field instead of left field) (C2)

0 degrees. 2.65 gms. 18.67 mm

A blemish on the neck and cheek that I can forgive.

After several years of hunting I finally completed a set of the phoenix type of this issue. Still looking for an example from workshop 1 of the galley type, but thought I would show the ones that I have.

Awesome!  I wish these could have been included in my book, they would have been great photo additions!
