Constantine I, 307/310-337. Follis (Bronze, 21 mm, 2.57 g, 6 h), a contemporary imitation of an issue from Treveri, irregular mint, after 324. CONSTN-IN[V]S AVD Laureate head of Constantine I to right. Rev. PVND RMI PVBLICAE / STR Fausta standing front, head to left, holding two children in her arms. Very rare. A highly interesting piece combining an obverse of Constantine I with a reverse of Fausta. Traces of overstriking, otherwise, good very fine.


This is a very unusual mule, with an obverse for Constantine I and a reverse of Fausta. The style is clearly unofficial, with strongly blundered legends, indicating a contemporary 'barbarous' imitation.
