Late Roman Bronze Coins

This coin (RIC VII Lyons 138) does not have an actual date, but the obverse legend indicates that Crispus was Consul for the second time, and his second appointment as Consul was in A.D. 321.

Interesting coin, excellent detail.

Here is another example that just sold on E-bay for $626.00.

From Lyon's collection. Acquired at CFO Paris in October 1985.

And three different pairs of dies. Which is a good new for those who are looking for such a coin.

Here is my Crispus, from a different obverse die, not nearly as nice as those of Victor.
