Helena (mother of Constantine I) Æ Nummus. Possible contemporary imitation of the Lugdunum mint, after AD 324-325. FL HELENA AVGVSTA, diademed and draped bust to right / SECVRITAS REIPVBLICE, Securitas standing facing, head to left, holding branch and raising hem of robe; PLG in exergue. RIC VII 234. 2.60g, 19mm, 11h.
Extremely Fine.
From a private UK collection.
The slightly unusual style of this piece, especially evidenced by the post that Securitas has adopted on the reverse, might suggest that it is a barbarous contemporary imitation.
