From the collection of Dr. L. Ramskold, Leu Web Auction 26, 8-13 July 2023, 5439.

This is the first emission where Constantine introduced his new rosette diadem. It is characterized by having a large frontal medallion, which is clearly differentiated from the rest of the diadem. Constantine also introduced his new pose, called the majestic pose by Ramskold (in Constantine's SPES PVBLIC coins [2020a]). Both the diadem and the pose would be Constantine's signa for the rest of his reign, and the rosette diadem remained in use by many subsequent emperors.
