Populus Romanus. Half-follis; Populus Romanus; Constantinople, 330 AD, Half Follis (20 Nummi), 1.19g. RIC VIII p. 448, 21, officina IA=12; C VII p. 332, 1. Obv: POP ROMANVS Wreathed and draped bust of Genius of Rome l. with cornucopia on shoulder. Rx: Bridge with towers over river, without legend or mintmark. Special issue for the dedication of Constantinople in 330 AD, according to RIC. Ex Harlan Berk, August 2003.Interesting type that was issued specifically for the dedication of Constantinople in 330. This has a very interesting reverse type of a bridge with towers over a river. A special piece created for an equally special event. The coin is quite tiny at 13mm. The piece has dark patination. There is some surface porosity but nothing terribly bad. What appears to be a lighter surface area on the reverse is a result of porosity
