This is a reduced Follis of Constantine the Great with a "PLN" (London) mintmark. Looks a little better in hand than my photo would suggest.

    Aethelred, very cool. I would like to add a few myself but I want to stick with silver coins.

    I don't think (and I could very well be wrong) that there were any silver coins minted at the Roman mint in London.

    I'll have to go back and check on that Brett. I was thinking as I wrote the above "you are going to make yourself look like a fool again" which is why I added the "I may be wrong" part.image

    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    Nice, but Constantine looks a little green around the gills.
