Interesting obverse legend giving Constantine II the praenomen Victor; scarce reverse type used only by the mint of Rome. Comes with a handwritten coin ticket and Adolph Hess/Frankfurt printed envelope from the early decades of the twentieth century, on which however the coin is misattributed to Constans at Trier with the wrong reverse legend! . aVF (135)
