Commemorative Series AR Third Siliqua. Constantinople, circa AD 330. Diademed and draped female bust (Constantinopolis?) right, wearing necklace / Large "K". Bendall, Some comments on the anonymous silver coinage of the fourth to sixth centuries AD, RN 158 (2002), p. 141 and PI. XI, 4; Mazzini V, pl. XXXVIII, 287 (Constantine II); Trau Collection 3995 (Fausta). 0.99g, 13mm, 12h.

Near Mint State. Very Rare.

Commemorating the consecration of the city of Constantinople by Constantine I 'the Great' on 11 May AD 330, it would seem likely the obverse bust would be Constantinopolis, though an alternative suggestion would be Constantine's wife Fausta.
