Constantine I, 307/310-337. Follis (Bronze, 20 mm, 4.95 g, 6 h), a contemporary imitation of an issue from Siscia. Irregular mint, after 318. Helmeted and cuirassed bust of Constantine I to left, holding spear over his right shoulder; around, imitative legend. Rev. Two victories standing facing each other and holding shield inscribed VO/ΔΙ over altar; around, imitative legend and mintmark. Minor traces of corrosion, otherwise, very fine.



This coin is a notable and unusually heavy imitation of Constantine's 'VICTORIAE LAETAE PRINC PERP' Danubian type coinage, minted from 318 in Siscia. Weighing 4.95 g, it is nearly twice as heavy as the average official coins of this type.
