The coins were all minted during the reign of Constantine the Great (306 to 337 C.E.). They feature portraits of the emperor and his relatives on the front.

Amazing condition that will surely drive down the value of other like coins, lol Not so rare anymore..

Constantine the Great?

Was there a Constantine the Mediocre?..............

Were these coins found in a clay pot? If so, they’re mine. I visited Switzerland a few years ago. And to impress the ladies, I took with me a clay pot full of old coins. But then I lost the pot.

Switzerland, please forward those coins to me, postage paid. Thanks.

So cool.

Coins of the Constantinian era are rather common today. I probably own a hundred or more of them. Still, in the condition shown, they are probably worth $20-$50 each.

At that time, Switzerland was part of the Roman Empire.

And you couldn't find Swiss chocolate, Swiss watches, or Swiss army knives anywhere in Switzerland.

They were being oppressed!
