Commemorative Series, 330. AE (Orichalcum, 16 mm, 1.66 g, 6 h), Constantinopolis. CONSTAN-TINOPOLIS Draped bust of Constantinopolis to right, wearing pearl diadem with semicircular extension and pearl necklace. Rev. P - R Pax standing front, head to left, holding olive branch in her right hand and transverse scepter in her left. Ramskold, Coins and medallions (2011), p. 140, fig. 8A-B. RIC 106 corr. ('Rome'). Somewhat rough and with minor deposits, otherwise, very fine.

From the collection of Dr. L. Ramskold, formed since 1969.

This issue was assigned in RIC VIII to the mint of Rome (RIC 106). However, as corrected by Ramskold (Coins and medallions (2011), p. 139-141), the mint is not Rome but Constantinopolis. These medalettes were all struck in brass (not bronze as stated in RIC VIII), and Ramskold followed Bendall (2002) in assigning them to 330 rather than 348, the date given in RIC VIII.
