Constantine II, as Caesar, 316-337. Follis (Bronze, 22 mm, 3.03 g, 10 h), a contemporary imitation of an issue from Arelate, irregular mint, after 324. CONSTANTINVS IVN NOB C Laureate head of Constantine II to right. Rev. PROVIDEN-TIAE AVGG / P✱AR Campgate with no doors and two turrets; above, star. Cf. RIC 264 (for possible prototype). Struck from slightly worn dies and with minor doubling, otherwise, very fine.


The style of the coin is clearly unofficial, indicating that it is a contemporary 'barbarous' imitation. Bust B1 was never used for Constantine II at Arelate, and the circular eye is only seen in unofficial imitations.
