Condition: This item is a coin fragment, meaning it is not a complete planchet and represents only a portion of the original strike.

The edges show a distinct break where the piece was separated from the main body of the coin. The mint is undetermined due to the fragmentary nature of the specimen. The metal content is copper. The historical context dates to approximately 330 AD during the reign of Constantine the Great, a pivotal era in the Roman Empire marked by the transition to Christianity and the establishment of Constantinople. The strike type is a hammered coinage strike, typical of the late Roman period. The item is encased and graded by the International Numismatic Bureau (INB) as a Roman Empire Coin Fragment.
