Constantine the Great Roman Coin Fragment INB
Constantine the Great c330AD Roman Empire Coin Fragment INB Slabbed
This historical specimen features a copper alloy coin fragment from the Roman Empire, attributed to the reign of Constantine the Great circa 330 AD. Constantine I is famously known as the first Roman emperor to convert to Christianity and for moving the imperial capital to Byzantium, renamed Constantinople.

The item is securely housed in a protective slab provided by the International Numismatic Bureau (INB), which includes a graded label with a unique identification barcode and serial number, ensuring the preservation of this ancient artifact.
Constantine the Great Roman Empire Coin Fragment c.330 AD INB Holder
Condition: This item is a partial fragment of a Roman coin, exhibiting significant material loss as only a small portion of the original planchet remains. The surfaces show heavy environmental patina and oxidation consistent with copper-alloy coinage of the 4th century. Due to the fragmentary nature, specific design elements are largely missing. The fragment is encased in an International Numismatic Bureau (INB) holder, which identifies the piece but does not assign a numerical grade or specific strike type. The mint mark is not visible on this portion of the coin. Metal content is copper. This piece dates to approximately 330 AD during the reign of Constantine the Great, a pivotal era in the Roman Empire marked by the founding of Constantinople and the official transition toward Christianity. The coin was produced using a hand-struck hammer method typical of ancient Roman provincial or imperial mints.
