Constantine II. As Caesar, AD 316-337. Æ Follis (18mm, 3.11 g, 6h). Lozenge on altar type. Londinium (London) mint. Struck AD 319. Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust right, seen from behind / Two Victories standing facing each other, holding between them a shield inscribed VOT/PR in two lines, resting on altar decorated with lozenge; –|–//PLN. RIC VII –; C&T 9.01.015 (this coin cited and illustrated). Dark green patina. Good VF. Extremely rare. The sole example cited by LMCC.

From the Paul DiMarzio Collection, purchased from Lars Ramskold, 19 July 2008.

This coin fills a striking gap in the coinage of London. RIC lists several varieties for Constantine I and Crispus in the 319-320 issue, but none at all for Constantine II. This coin shows that coins were struck also for Constantine II in the issue.
