Constantine II, as Caesar, 316-337. Follis (Bronze, 20 mm, 2.53 g, 12 h), a contemporary imitation of an issue from Treveri, irregular mint, after 320. CONSTANTI-NVS IVN N S Radiate and cuirassed bust of Constantine II to right. Rev. VIRTS EXERCT / PTR Two captives seated at base of vexillum inscribed VOT / XX. Cf. RIC 277 (for possible prototype). Minor smoothing, otherwise, good very fine.


The style of this coin is clearly unofficial, indicating that it is a contemporary 'barbarous' imitation. It copies RIC 277 (Treveri), but with the bust to right, not left, and the reverse legend lacking two letters.
