Crispus/Constantine II (?) - VOT V - Silver

[Harry W]

Hello all

I hope everyone is doing ok :-)

I have acquired this alongside some other coins. I have managed to identify the others, but am a bit stuck with this one. I think I have narrowed it down to Constantine II or Crispus, I am leaning towards the latter after a bit of research. Unfortunately, I do not have an accurate scale but have included a penny in the scan. I hope this helps.

It seems to be in rather rough condition with some pitting and a flan crack. If you need pictures of the rim let me know and I'll supply them. I believe the reverse reads:
CAESARVM NOSTRORVM

Thank you,
Harry

It's Crispus. Nummus/follis, not silver.

that really looks like a cast from pot metal...so probably not ancient.

Hello

Thank you for your reply. It does seem a little suspect. Especially the red in the gap on the outer edge around 3 O clock. It is also quite porous as youve probably noted.ive attached some more pictures to see if we can be definitive but I think you may be right unfortunately.

Thanks,
Harry
