Title: After a good clean !! Post by: dingdong on September 18, 2016, 07:08:48 PM This little beauty has now shown its true self after a very long soak in olive oil.
It came from my 'roman' field,sadly no longer available for me to detect in due to possible change over of land ownership !! But I would love to know exactly what this coin is..... PLEASE Thanks for looking.....👍 Title: Re: After a good clean !! Post by: nobby on September 18, 2016, 08:24:51 PM Alright ding-dong
Looks like a folis of Constantine ;) Title: Re: After a good clean !! Post by: Val Beechey on September 18, 2016, 09:40:44 PM That's turned out to be a cracking coin Chris. Well found.
Title: Re: After a good clean !! Post by: probono on September 19, 2016, 09:03:50 AM It's a London mint follis of Constantine, SOLI INVICTO COMITI, with PLN as mint mark, but what seems like S-M/P in the fields. I haven't found the exact match yet, usually when there are three symbols in the field one of them is a star. It dates to around 316AD
