Overview

A small, weathered bronze coin featuring a profile bust of a Roman emperor (likely of the Constantinian Dynasty) wearing a laurel wreath or diadem, surrounded by Latin lettering.

Historical significance

These coins were mass-produced following the monetary reforms of Constantine the Great. They were the common currency used for everyday transactions across the vast reaches of the Roman Empire during its late period.

Estimated value

$5.00 - $20.00 USD (value is heavily dependent on identifying the specific emperor and the condition of the reverse side)

Care & preservation

Do not use harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive polishes as they will destroy the natural green/brown patina and reduce historical value. Store in a PVC-free coin flip or a cool, dry environment away from moisture.
