2 Solidi - Constantinus II VOTIS X CAESS NN, Nicomedia

Constantinus II held the title Caesar from 317 AD, making the VOTIS X inscription here a celebration of his tenth vow anniversary — a formal ceremony of renewed loyalty and divine favor observed at the imperial court in 326–327. The Nicomedia mint was among the most active eastern workshops of the period, operating under close imperial supervision as Constantine consolidated power following his defeat of Licinius in 324, which had brought the entire eastern mint network back under western control.

The double solidus denomination was struck primarily for donative purposes — distributed to senior officers and officials rather than circulated. RIC VII 119 is rare in this weight class.
