Constantine I, 307/310-337. Follis (Bronze, 18 mm, 2.67 g, 11 h), a contemporary imitation of an issue from Arelate. Irregular mint, after 327. CONSTAN-TINVS AVG Laureate head of Constantine I to right. Rev. VIRTV-S AVGG / S - F / PARLT Camp gate with open doors and four turrets; above, star. Cr. RIC 304 and 313 (for prototype). Slightly rough and with minor weakness on the reverse, otherwise, about extremely fine.



The style of this coin is clearly unofficial, indicating that it is a contemporary 'barbarous' imitation. The portrait is of Trier style, not Arles, and the mint mark is a fantasy invention .
