LMCC 2 Supplement

This page will record additions to LMCC II. We will also provide corrections and additional images to existing entries and text in LMCC II. Please note that this is a work in progress and changes can be made to any of the entries at any time.

Page xix

The location of the Juillac hoard on the map is incorrect. The hoard was found just to the west of Toulouse much further south. The correct location designated by the blue star in the detail image above was created by the Juillac team. 

Page 27

Insert additional note to Fig.4 in footnote 17. See also CNG 582 lot 710 where the same reverse die is used on a similar coin of Diocletian ex Lyne, ex Spink.

Page 39

Correction to the penultimate line of the penultimate paragraph : "The Constantius coin is listed in the new catalogue as 2.01.010C" should read "The Constantius coin is listed in the new catalogue as 2.01.013C"

Page 79

Insert figure 13 with the following text above:

A clearly irregular coin of Crispus based on a Trier type but given away by the idiosyncratic portrait, poor lettering and overall style. Guy Braun collection (18.50x19.12 mm 2.36g).

 

Page 100

Add to end of note for 1.02.001, "Another in CNG 580 lot 615 (25.5mm 9.88 g 6h) ex Malcolm Lyne collection, ex Lee Toone collection (Spink 233, 2 December 2015 lot 650)."

Page 102

1.03.004 (3) Footnote correction : The incorrect weight for this coin was given in the references. This coin weighs 10.61 g. and not 9.17 g. as originally provided to the authors of LMCC and RML (see CNG electronic auction 580 lot 616).

 

1.03.005 (2)  An example from the Rauceby hoard, weighing 9.07g, in Leu 36 lot 1139 and now Steve Thomas collection. Obverse die link to plate coin.  Although this coin type is not recorded in Eleanor Ghey's catalogue of the Rauceby hoard, the Leu catalogue cites “Ghey p. 236, 14.1 corr. (this coin)” a coin which weighs 9.12g uncleaned. Lars Rutten of Leu confirmed, “The piece undoubtedly comes from the Rauceby Hoard - it was submitted to us by the buyer of the hoard as part of it”. The numbers in the hoard census table should be adjusted to list four examples of 1.03.001 and one example  of  1.03.005.

Page 112

2.01.007C   Footnote correction : "For the Constantius coin see 2.01.010C" should read "For the Constantius coin see 2.01.013C" and the introduction reference should read p. 39. 

Page 114

2.01.011.5   Footnote correction : the footnote for this coin is conflated with the previous footnote and should be a standalone footnote, "Juillac no. 34857 (9.72 g 6h)."

Page 118

3.01.005   Add to end of footnote, "One Falmouth example in the Lyne collection reads DIOCLETIANNVS (Stewartby 2011)."

3.01.006   Add to end of footnote, "An example from the Malcolm Lyne collection reportedly ex Numphil lot 341 (22 March 2013) sold in CNG 126 lot 870." 

Page 120

3.01.009   Amend footnote to read, " Spink 194 lot 1179 (part), ex Vogelaar (28 x 28.1 mm 10.19 g 6h), where it was incorrectly identified as RIC 44, a coin of Galerius Augustus. Sold in CNG 582 lot 713 as part of the Malcolm Lyne collection now in the Steve Thomas collection. Another example in Meckel, no. 871, incorrectly identified as a coin of Galerius. Both examples are struck from the same obverse die, but different reverse dies."

3.01.013.5   Amend weight to 10.8g.

Page 124

3.01.021   Add to end of footnote, "A third example, struck from different dies, from the Malcolm Lyne collection sold in CNG 580 lot 630."

3.01.021   Add to end of footnote, "Another example from the Malcolm Lyne collection sold in CNG 580 lot 631."

Page 126

3.01.030    Add to footnote, "The Lyne coin sold at CNG 580 lot 640".

3.01.031    Correction to footnote : last sentence should read " ... in the authors' collections." not the Steve Thomas collection.

Page 130

4.02.001   Add to end of footnote, "Another example from the Malcolm Lyne collection sold in CNG 580 lot 634."

4.02.002   Add to end of footnote, "Another example from the Malcolm Lyne collection sold in CNG 580 lot 635."

4.02.004   Add to end of footnote, "Another example from the Malcolm Lyne collection sold in CNG 580 lot 636 now in Julian Okun-Dubitsky collection. This coin ex DNW 146 (25 April 2018) lot 131, ex David Miller April 1971." Also note that the footnote number contains a typo which should be corrected.

4.02.006   Add to end of footnote, "Another example from the Malcolm Lyne collection sold in CNG 580 lot 637."

Page 132

4.02.015   Add to end of footnote, "Another example from the Malcolm Lyne collection sold in CNG 580 lot 648 ex Falmouth hoard."

Page 134

4.03.001.3   Revise first sentence of footnote to read : "DNW Auction April 2018 lot 137 (10.58 g) ex Marvin Lessen collection, ex Glendining Auction lot 79, 15-16 November 1978 from H. Hurtt Collection, ex Eversley (Northamptonshire) hoard 1968."

4.03.002   Change bust type in table to B2* and add to end of footnote, "Four examples in Juillac feature decorated or elaborate shoulder bands, nos 1154, 6242, 18525 and 33471. The last two are struck from the same obverse die."

Page 136

4.03.012   Add to end of footnote, "Another example from the Malcolm Lyne collection sold in CNG 580 lot 644." 

4.03.013   Add to end of footnote, "Another example from the Malcolm Lyne collection sold in CNG 580 lot 645 ex Falmouth hoard."

 

Page 142

4.04.000.5   IMP SEVERVS PIVS FELIX IN AVG   Bust B3. CNG 580 lot 650 (25.5 mm 10.20g 6h) ex Malcolm Lyne collection, ex Coin Galleries (New York) 29 May 1989.

4.04.004   Add to end of footnote, "Another example from the Malcolm Lyne collection sold in CNG 580 lot 649 ex Falmouth hoard purchased from Baldwin’s, ex Christie’s (20 July 1970) “The Property of Mrs Janet Fox M.K. of Falmouth”."

Page 144 and 308

4.04.006.5   CONSTANTINVS NOBILISSIM C   Bust B3.  Found by a detectorist in the Selby, North Yorkshire area (27.9 mm 8.70g 6h) PAS SWYOR-3FF057. A new obverse legend ending for Constantine the Great although previously known for Severus (4.02.018) and for Maximinus (4.03.026). New obverse legend added to page 308. 

4.04.014   Add to end of footnote, "Another example from the Malcolm Lyne collection sold in CNG 580 lot 657 ex Falmouth hoard purchased from Baldwin’s, ex Christie’s (20 July 1970) “The Property of Mrs Janet Fox M.K. of Falmouth”."

Page 148

5.01.010   Add to end of footnote, "Another example from the Malcolm Lyne collection sold in CNG 580 lot 617 ex Falmouth hoard purchased from Baldwin’s, ex Christie’s (20 July 1970) “The Property of Mrs Janet Fox M.K. of Falmouth”."

Page 150

5.02.005   Add to end of footnote, "Another example from the Malcolm Lyne collection sold in CNG 580 lot 619 possibly ex Falmouth hoard."

Page 152

5.03.003   (add to footnote): 5.03.003 (2) ROMA XIII Lot 1260 (27.01 x 28.51mm 6.99 g). Mistakenly omitted from LMCC II although it had appeared in Supplement No. 1 to LMCC I, this example features bust variety B2.2, a particularly ornate cuirass. See LMCC II, pp 90-91 for definitions of bust sub-types. Image courtesy of ROMA Numismatics. Constantine held his first consulship in AD 307. It would be appropriate for him to celebrate this on a coin of the second reduction which also features designs celebrating his new alliance with Maximian and shortly before he begins using the title Augustus on his coinage. None of the examples of 5.03.003 in the census hoards feature a consular cuirass.

5.03.004.5   FL VAL CONSTANTINVS NOB C   Bust B5. (23mm circle of dots 7.56g) bust B5. Ex Demarco. This form of elaborate drapery is analogous to the consular types used on early coins of the first tetrarchy (see Figure 15, p. 34, and 1.03.004 example 2, on p. 103). This is a more fully developed consular cuirass than that featured on the second example of 5.03.003 noted above.

5.03.008   Add to end of footnote, "Another example in Noonans 327 lot 587.

5.03.009   Add to end of footnote, "Another example from the Malcolm Lyne collection sold in CNG 580 lot 622."

5.03.011   Add to end of footnote, "Another example from the Malcolm Lyne collection sold in CNG 593 lot 651 ex Vogelaar."

Page 154

5.03.013   Add to end of footnote, "Another example from the Malcolm Lyne collection sold in CNG 580 lot 623."

5.03.015    Add to end of footnote, "Other examples from the Paul DiMarzio and Malcolm Lyne collections sold in CNG 120 lot 935 and CNG 129 lot 570."

Page 158

Correct the reverse description for 5.04.011 and 012 to read: PRINCIPI IVVENTVTIS Prince standing facing, head left, in military dress, holding standard in each hand.

Page 168 and 312

Insert new reverse type : 

MARTI CONSERVATORI   Helmeted and cuirassed bust of Mars, seen from the front, right.

6.04.000.5    CONSTANTINVS P F AVG   Bust B3 (y) left. Leu Web Auction 38 lot 1707 (22 mm 4.00 g 6h) ex Markovitch collection (1897-1981).

Lee Toone comments, “We have always been somewhat sceptical about assigning the Bust of Sol or Mars types to London without sufficient evidence. To date, the evidence has merely consisted of obverse busts looking similar to that of London. We think this obverse bust is so unlike anything produced at other mints in bronze that it could only be a London product. For evidence, the bust and shield type is reminiscent of several London mint busts (showing a whole rather than partial shield) including our illustrated examples of CT 7.03.010 and CT 7.03.022 (2). These bust types were not struck in bronze at other mints at this time.
As Leu has pointed out, the shield appears to be decorated with an aegis featuring a central gorgoneion on the shield.
The specific nature and rarity of this obverse bust type makes it more likely that a die match can be made with a marked coin of London. This would unequivocally confirm this coin as a product of the London mint.” 

Page 169

6.04.001 (2)   This coin was subsequently sold at CNG 129 lot 571 ex Malcolm Lyne collection. 

Page 178

7.03.022 (3)   This example was offered for sale by London Ancient Coins on their VCoins site in September 2025 (21mm 4.07g 6h). Struck from the same dies as the first LMCC plate coin.

Page 182

7.03.044 (2)   A further example of this variant with spread chlamys struck from the same dies as the BM Waddington plate coin - Tammaro collection (23 mm 5.32 g 6h).

7.03.045 (2)   This example is the BoW hoard coin which was subsequently offered for sale by London Ancient Coins on their VCoins site in 2025 (21mm 4.91g 6h). Struck from different dies to the LMCC plate coin. An associated ticket gives a later find date than the main hoard in 1974 and it is recorded in Burge 1987 as #17. 

 

7.03.045.5   CONSTANTINVS AVG   B2 (w) left. CNG 564 Lot 668 (22mm 4.92 g, 6h)  ex Malcolm Lyne collection, ex Galata (June 1988). 

7.03.058 (3)  CNG 594 lot 501  (24mm 4.74 g 6h) ex Malcolm Lyne collection ex Mike Vosper. This is the example recorded in the notes on page 182 as "a further example with flying Victory in a UK private collection from the same obverse die but a different reverse die".

Page 192

7.05.003 (this coin updated) now Steve Thomas collection (22.5mm, 4.57 g, 7h) ex CNG E-auction 564 lot 671 ex Malcolm Lyne ex Vogelaar.

7.05.004.5   CONSTANTIVS P F AVG   Bust B5 (t) left. CNG 564 lot 672 (22.5 mm 3.77 g 6h) ex Malcolm Lyne collection ex Baldwins (19/10/99), now Paul James collection.

Page 194

7.06.002   The footnote to this type refers to an example known with a missing star. These images show this coin and another that has recently come to light. Both struck from the same obverse and reverse dies. They are either a die engraver's error or the result of a clogged die. It is fanciful to suggest that they might be a new type.

7.06.002 (2)   Private collection (23.3 mm 4.23 g 6h).

7.06.002 (3)   CNG 564 lot 666 (22 mm 4.65 g 6h) ex Malcolm Lyne ex Vogelaar miscatalogued as RML 518 forthcoming. 

7.06.009   This type is recorded but not illustrated in our second edition. Bertolami E-Auction 50 lot 768 on 10th December 2017 (23 mm 4.72 g 6h) misattributed as RIC 220.

Page 196

7.07.001 (2)   A second example from the same dies notified to the authors in January 2026 (22 mm 4.19g  8h) 

7.07.016   This reference coin was later sold at CNG 564 lot 675 ex Lyne with a mistaken correction. Misled by the RML reference, CNG stated, "RML 467 (forthcoming); C&T 7.07.016 corr. (not draped)". Our entry clearly refers to additional drapery on the reverse, not on the obverse bust. Our entry remains correct.

Page 198

7.07.026   Another from same dies CNG 564 lot 676 ex Lyne. 

Page 204

7.09.009   Add to footnote - The BoW example was sold in CNG 580 lot 698 albeit misdescribed and without the BoW provenance which has since been confirmed by the present owner. Ex Macolm Lyne collection (22.5mm, 4.77 g, 6h) ex Galata (June 1988) and now Julian Okun-Dubitsky collection.

7.10.021   This was included in both editions but not illustrated. This is the plate image of Huvelin 176.

7.12.004.5    CONSTANTINVS P AVG   Bust E2 (z) left. Paul James collection (23.5 mm 3.32 g 6h) ex Nummitra 43 lot 124. Possibly with a wolf and twins design on the shield?

Page 228

8.05.016 (2).   Phil Edmonds' collection (20.8 x 20.9 mm 3.02 g 5h) a variant with an underarm globe. Another example struck from the same dies appeared on Ebay in 2025.

Page 236

8.07.028.5   CONSTANTINVS P AVG   Bust B2 left. Julian Okun-Dubitsky collection (20 mm 2.96 g 5h) ex P-F Jacquier FPL Autumn 1994. We have always been suspicious of claims of cuirassed versions of 8.07.030 and until now not seen any clear specimens of a left facing cuirassed bust of this issue (see LMCC II page 68 “The M Series). However, this coin described as “Belorb. Panzerbüste n.l.” by Jacquier has clear pteryges and has been described elsewhere as “a highly decorated cuirass with features of a trabea though a cuirassed bust due to the pteryges”. We tentatively list it here as a potential new type but await a less decorated cuirass.

8.07.028.5 (2) CONSTANTINVS P AVG   Bust B2 left. Lucernae XXVII (July 2025) lot 720 (23 mm 2.76 g 6h) from same dies as above example.

Page 246

8.10.007 (2)   Phil Edmonds collection (19 mm 3.36 g 6h). A BoW later site find and from the same obverse die as BoW #1453. An associated ticket gives a later find date than the main hoard in 1971 and it is recorded in Burge 1987 as #51.

9.03.020.5   CRISPV[S] NOB CAES   Bust D2 left. Steve Thomas collection (19 mm 3.3 g). It is unclear whether the missing S is due to a die engraver's error or a clogged die.

Page 278

9.05.022.5   CRISPVS NOBIL C   Bust B3 (y) left. ROMA E-Auction 28 lot 755 (20 mm 3.89 g 6h) miscatalogued as cuirassed only.

9.05.022.5 (2)   CRISPVS NOBIL C   Bust B3 (y) left. Steve Thomas collection (20 mm 3.2 g) from same dies as ROMA example.

Page 284

9.06.017 (2)   An example with a wolf and twins design on the shield. Richard Demarco collection (20 mm 2.85 g).

9.06.017 (3)   A second example with a wolf and twins design on the shield from the same dies. Again Richard Demarco collection (19 mm 3.23 g 6h) ex Leu Web Auction 34 lot 3317 (7th July 2025).

9.06.028 [corr. ?]   Constantinvs  IVN N C   Bust C3 (s) left. CNG 580 lot 730 (20.5mm, 3.01 g, 6h) ex Malcolm Lyne collection. CNG describe it thus:

"Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust left, raising hand / Banded globe set upon altar inscribed VOT/IS/ XX in three lines; three stars above; F|B//PLON. RIC VII 260 corr. (bust type); RML 1100 corr. (same); C&T 9.06.028 corr. (same); CNG 47, 2032."

CNG add the following note:

"From the few clear examples of this issue with available illustrations, namely, this coin and the CNG 47 example, it is this cataloger’s perspective that this bust type is indeed radiate, draped, and cuirassed. Given that the Lanz 154, 514 example was heavily tooled, the Shrewsbury example uncleaned, and the Vienna example without an illustration, much confusion has arisen regarding this bust type. However, it does not appear that this bust is trabeate, nor is an item held in Constantine’s left hand (e.g. a globe or mappa). The left shoulder has, it would appear, decorative drapery and the pteryges of a cuirass."
