Need help with this "bigger" roman copper coin [solved]

7 posts • viewed 133 times

Ive got an roman Constantine the I (i think atleast) roman copper coin with his face on the obverse, while i have a soldier slaying a lion? on the reverse sadly to rusted to make out any text.

Edit i just noticed that the picture of the reverse is blurry i will add a better picture 

 

It weights 5.45g 

Lenght wise its between 21.98-22.14

Constantinus II, FEL TEMP REPARATIO

i thinks its this N#23504 tough who knows what mint with the reverse like that of my specimen

Anyone else have an idea if im on the righr track or not

I don't think Constantine II used that reverse. Constantius II, however, made wide us of it.  It's a very common coin.

The image is a soldier spearing a fallen horseman. FEL TEMP REPARATIO stands for “Felicium Temporum Reperatio,” a return to happier times.

I can se an S in the mintmark position of my coin but nothing else as said above i think the coin underneat is my specimen

 

The obverse is spot on compared to mine and the obverse has similairities such as the remnants of the R between the soldier and the man he is killing aswell as the S as the first letter in the mint mark

 

N#23504

Constantius II with a common FEL TEMP REPARATIO reverse with a soldier spearing a fallen horseman on left.

FEL TEMP REPARATIO is one of the most common type and there are hundreds of variations (legend breaks, mintmark variations and symbols, obverse letters behind head, soldier with cap or helmet or nothing, position of horseman arms, position of horseman on his horse, etc.).

 

If you want to play a little with variants, you can check here for files with listings of common variants (excel formats). But here a precise identification will not be possible given the wear.
