Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I have met with nothing curious since I last wrote to you, except a coin in the middle brass of Constantine the Great ... ADVENTVS AVG N, PLN Quotes Banduri ‘nummus rarissimus’, lacking everywhere ‘except in the cabinet of Mons. Foucault’ The rarity of it lies in the letter N after AVG, [missing in Mezzobarba and Du Cange; believes it was struck in London] I have sent you this brief account of this curious medal, which is very well preserved, and esteemed so by Banduri, who has wrote the fullest and best of any author upon the medals of the Lower Empire...'

(Nichols 1781-1790, pp. 341-3; Burnett 2020b, p. 1661)
