CONSTANTINI MAX AVG, VOT XXX, in laurel wreath;
A/CONS. RIC VII -; Hunter -; Cohen -; LRBC -. Near
EF, dark green patina. Unpublished reverse type
for Constantinople mint. Unique. ($300)
From the Malcolm W. Heckman Collection. Ex
Classical Numismatic Group 35 (20 December 1995),
lot 989.
The reverse type with VOT XXX is not a new type,
as it was struck at Rome, Heraclea, and Ticinum in
conjunction with Constantine's vicenallia
celebrations in 325-326 AD. Its place in the
coinage of Constantinople is determined by the
laureate head, the absence of MAX in the obverse
legend, and the A/CONS mintmark, and firmly place
this coin as one of the first types struck after
the opening of the mint in 326 AD.
