| Beschrijving keerzijde | The personification of Constantia — the imperial virtue of steadfastness and perseverance — depicted as a draped female figure seated left upon a curule chair, her right hand raised in a gesture of salutation or resolve, her left arm resting at her side. The figure is rendered in a composed, authoritative posture befitting an allegorical embodiment of imperial constancy. The scene occupies the central field of the flan, with the reverse legend arcing around the upper periphery. The curule chair, a symbol of Roman magisterial authority, is rendered with visible decorative detailing. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Claudius struck this issue during a period when his grip on the principate remained politically awkward — a man thrust onto the throne by the Praetorian Guard in 41 AD who spent his reign working to legitimize a succession he never sought. The CONSTANTIAE AVGVSTI type belongs to a carefully managed coinage program invoking imperial virtues, a strategy Claudius leaned on heavily given the unconventional circumstances of his accession.
At 7.8g, this piece sits at the heavier end of Claudian aurei, consistent with a mint standard that would be quietly debased under Nero within a decade of this striking.
