As a rule, in every mint, coins for Helena and Fausta were struck in equal number. Today, however, coins of Fausta from Constantinople are rarer than those of Helena. Ramskold (Aborted production [2020b]) postulated that coins for Fausta were withdrawn from circulation after her death as part of her subsequent damnatio memoriae.
