Constantine I, The Great Roman AE (AD 272-337) Epfig Hoard NGC

Own a certified Roman bronze AE of Constantine I, The Great (AD 272–337), authenticated and slabbed by NGC, and recovered from the historic Epfig Hoard. This coin connects directly to one of the most transformative figures in Roman — and world — history.

Constantine the Great was the first Roman emperor to embrace Christianity, setting in motion the conversion of the empire and laying the foundations for medieval Christendom. His reign marked the end of the Tetrarchic system and the reunification of the Roman Empire under a single ruler.

In 330 AD, Constantine founded the new imperial capital at Byzantium, renaming it Constantinople — the "New Rome" — which would endure as the heart of the Byzantine Empire for over a thousand years. His reign also saw the issuing of the Edict of Milan in 313 AD, guaranteeing religious tolerance throughout the empire and ending the persecution of Christians.

The Epfig Hoard, discovered in modern-day France, contained a remarkable collection of late Roman bronze coins, offering a vivid snapshot of currency circulation during Constantine’s reign and the decades that followed.

Bronze AE coins of Constantine typically feature his laureate or helmeted portrait on the obverse, while reverses celebrate military victories, divine favor, and the emperor’s connection to Christian symbolism.

Certified by NGC, and originating from the Epfig Hoard, this AE coin offers collectors a tangible piece of history from the reign of one of the most influential rulers of the ancient world.
