Watch List notes:

Constantine I, 307/310-337. Follis (Bronze, 19 mm, 3.00 g, 6 h), a contemporary imitation of an issue from Treveri, after 321. CONSTAN-TINVS AVG Helmeted and cuirassed bust of Constantine I to right. Rev. BEATA TRA-NQVILLITAS / PTR Globe set on altar inscribed VO/TIS / XX; above, three stars. Cf. RIC 306 (for prototype). About extremely fine.


From the Tetrarchy Collection, formed over the past twenty-five years.

The unorthodox obverse legend break (TRA-NQVILLITAS instead of TRAN-QVILLITAS) and the unusual rendering of the altar and globe indicate an excellent contemporary imitation.
