Rome. Constantine I, the Great, 307-337 AD. Gold Solidus (4.47
g), Antioch mint, struck 335-336 AD. Diademed, draped, and
cuirassed bust of Constantine right. Reverse: Victory walking
left, holding pole with trophy, and in the other hand, a palm
branch; VICTORIA CONSTANTINI AVG, in right field VOT / XXX in
two lines, and SMAN in exergue. Bastien, Donativa, p. 81, g;
Biaggi 2013; RIC 96; C. 604; Fr-840 var. Very lustrous and
exceptional, with handsomely styled, late portrait. Rare. NGC
graded Uncirculated.
There were 19 different mint cities for the coinage of
Constantine I, the Great. Mintmarks were almost always
confined to the exergue of the reverse, often preceded by SM
(Sacra Moneta). Thus on this coin, we read the Sacred Money
[of] Antioch. Officina or mint workshop numbers were usually
included afterward, indicating the specific part of the mint
responsible for the fineness, weight and quality of design and
strike. Depending on the location of the mint, Latin or Greek
letters might be used for the workshops.
Estimated Value $5,000 - 6,000.
Illustrated in Money of the World, coin 56.

Notices
This item is an "eBay Live Auction". This means that
each item will not close at a specific time like a
regular ebay auction. Because this is a live auction the
lot will be opened in a format like a real auction house
floor. Bids can be placed real-time during the auction
via ebayliveauctions.com and icollector.com. Please
note, bidders may place bids before the auction up to 1
hour prior to the start of the auction. This is the
recommended method of bidding if you have a slow
internet connection or do not have the experience
bidding in a "live" sale. Due to the speed of the
auction, we highy recommend a DSL or cable connection .
Once the auction has started, only live bids are
accepted. Please do not call to place bids during the
auction as they will not be accepted. The "Auction date
and time" displayed by ebay has been known to be wrong.
Please check our auction information page for actual
start times on ebayliveauctions.com. These start times
pertain to when the auction opens, not the individual
lot. We typically run approximately 150 items per hour,
so you can estimate from that when your item may be
displayed. We will not be held responsible for ebay down
time or internet problems. If ebay goes down, we will
try our best to wait a sufficient amount of time for it
to come back up. In the event that we cannot require
ebay, all ebay bids during that downtime will not be
honoured.
There is a 20% commission charge added to each and every lot.
