Description: ROMAN EMPIRE CONSTANTINE I CHRISTIAN CROSS (TICINUM MINT) 307-337 AD. THE CHRISTIAN CROSS IS VERY RARE ON CONSTANTINE I COINS, IT IS ON THE REVERSE OF THIS COIN, IT IS TO THE LEFT OF THE WAIST OF SOL (Roman god), the minter of this coin was a good politician, playing both sides of the fence depicting the Roman god and Christian Cross. THIS COIN IS NGC CERTIFIED AS AUTHENTIC. QUITE RARE AND VERY REASONABLY PRICED FOR YOU TO OWN WITH THE CHRISTIAN CROSS, THIS COIN IS NOT ENCAPSULATED BECAUSE OF SLIGHT CORROSION, (it would most likely be quite nice put in a thick bezel to give better circumfrance to the coin which would improve the looks and modestly cleaned in the area of the corrosion) THE CHRISTIAN CROSS IS VERY RARE ON CONSTANTINE I COINS, IT IS ON THE REVERSE OF THIS COIN, IT IS TO THE LEFT OF THE WAIST OF SOL (Roman god), I QUESTION WHETHER THE MINTERS OF CONSTANTINE I COINS EVEN WANTED TO BE KNOWN FOR DOING THE CHRISTIAN CROSS, SINCECONSTANTINE I WAS THE FIRST ROMAN EMPEROR TO ALLOW THE PRACTICE OF CATHOLISMAND SINCE THEY WERE NOT SURE WHETHER MINTING THESE CHRISTIAN CROSS COINS WOULD CONTINUE AFTER CONSTANTINE I, LEADING THEM TO BE PUT TO DEATH, (THE CHRISTIAN CROSS WAS ASSOCIATED WITH JESUS AND HIS DEATH BY CRUSIFICTION IN APPROXIMATELY THE SECOND CENTURY), HOWEVER, THE COINS DID CONTINUE TO BE MINTED BY HIS SONS WHO BECAME RULERS OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE AFTER HIS DEATH AND THOSE COINS ARE EASIER TO FIND WITH THE CHRISTIAN CROSS ON THEM. CONSTANTINE I, HAS HIS NAME ENCIRCLING HIS PORTRAIT ON THE OBVERSE OF THIS COIN. THE COIN WAS MINTED IN TICINUM NOW MODERN DAY PAVIA, ITALY. I OPINE THAT THE VATICAN MAY HAVE ACQUIRED MOST ALL OF THESE COINS WITH CHRISTIAN CROSSES TO PERHAPS GIVE THEM TO CARDINALS, BISHOPS, PRIEST, ETC., YOU JUST CAN NOT FIND THESE COINS. WHAT COULD BE A MORE DISTINCTIVE ARTIFACT OF THE MEMORY OF JESUS, BY THE ROMAN EMPIRE ONLY 300 YEARS AFTER THE TIME OF JESUS'S CRUCIFICATION. IT IS AN INCREDIBLE REMEMBRANCE OF THE FACT THAT JESUS TRULY WORKED HIS MINISTRY ON THIS EARTH. CONSTANTINE'S MOTHER: HELENA (SAINT HELENA), FOUND THE TRUE CROSS OF JESUS (ACTUALLY ALL THREE CROSSES OF THAT GOOD FRIDAY) AND HOW IT WAS DETERMINED WHICH CROSS WAS JESUS'S CROSS IS ANOTHER INCREDIBLE DOCUMENTED STORY (LOOK UP HER HISTORY). THIS COIN HAS BEENAUTHENTICADED BY NUMISMATIC GUARANTY CORPORATION (ANCIENTS) BRONZE DEASE (CORRODED) THE COIN IS NOT ENCAPSULATED. THERE ARE PLENTY OF CONTERFEIT COINS OUT THERE FOR SELL WHICH LOOK VERY GOOD AND I HAVE EVEN PURCHASED A FEW OF THEM (COINS UNCERTIFIED, THAT WERE NOT AUTHENTICATED BY THE TWO MAJOR GRADERS NGC AND ANACS), SO I KNOW!ALSO, THE GRADERS OF ANCIENT ROMAN COINS HAVE NOWDETECTED REPRODUCTIONS OF ROMAN IMPERIALS COINS BY THE COUNTRIES/PROVINCES THE ROMANS CONQUERED AT THAT TIME, THUS, THEY WILL NOT BE CERTIFIED BY THE PROFESSIONAL GRADERS AS ROMAN IMPERIAL COINS.THIS COIN IS NGC CERTIFIED AND GUARANTEED AS AUTHENTIC FROM THE ROMAN EMPIRE.IT IS QUITE RARE.AS PHOTOGRAPHED.
