Constantine I, 307/310-337. Follis (Bronze, 18 mm, 2.22 g, 6 h), a contemporary imitation of an issue from Treveri, irregular mint, after 319. CONSTA-NTINVS AVG Laureate, helmeted and cuirassed bust of Constantine I to right. Rev. VICTORIAE LAET PRIN P / STR Two victories standing facing each other and holding shield inscribed VOT / PR over altar decorated with a star. Cf. RIC 227 (for prototype). Somewhat rough, otherwise, very fine.


The style of this coin is clearly unofficial, indicating that it is a contemporary 'barbarous' imitation. It matches the description of RIC 227 (Treveri), based on a unique coin, which may also in fact be a contemporary imitation.
