Ex Gadoury (16 November 2018), lot 196.
The solidus 1½ Scripulum - 9 Siliqua denomination was introduced by Constantine I circa AD 310, and tariffed at the inconvenient ratio of three-eighths of a gold solidus. It was struck infrequently during Constantine's reign and that of his successors until it was replaced by the more convenient gold tremissis under Theodosius I in circa AD 383. The denomination is particularly rare as an issue of Constans.
