Notes:
Some small flan flaws. Very Fine with a brown patina. Scarce and desirable in this state of preservation and from a low production mint, soon to be closed by Constantine I. Young Romulus served briefly as Counsel before dying at age 17; all of his coins are posthumously issued by Maxentius. From the Henry Chitwood Collection. Ex CNG with original ticket..
