Constantius Gallus mint?
« on: June 04, 2023, 07:08:53 am »
Hello,

I think this coin is for constantius gallus,

O/ D N CONSTANTI-VS NOB CAES

R/ FEL TEMP – REPARATIO


Can you determin the mint with the reverse break and the style? There is something like dots in front of each leg but probably just the design of legs.

With that beautiful helmet I would say with some certainty - Antioch.

Rather than the helmet, it looks more like hair in the portrait.

Shawn is referring to the helmet on the reverse.

I have to agree that stylistically it looks like Antioch. I don't have any from this particular issue under Gallus to share however.
