Constantine the Great, Early 307 - 22 May 337 A.D.
RIC describes this coin as an AE Folles (or AE3), however, this series coincides with other series from other mints, where Constantine introduced a billon argenteus denomination. Both the AE3 module and AR argenteus will be listed under the same RIC number, even though this issue begins this reverse type and was actually minted in 310 - 313 and should have appeared in RIC VI with the other billon argentei issues of Licinius I and Maximinus II.
This example appears to have a higher silver content and is not grainy like many examples of this type. RS53613.

Gallic Empire, Marius, May - August or September 269 A.D.
