| Beschrijving keerzijde | The votive legend VOT XX MVLT XXX is displayed in four lines within a laurel wreath tied at the base, recording the emperor's twentieth vow and anticipating his thirtieth. A circular ornament or pellet appears at the top of the wreath. The mintmark SMANΔI is placed below the wreath in the exergue, denoting the Antioch mint, officina 4 (delta). This reverse type was struck to commemorate Constans I's vicennalia celebrations of 347–348 AD. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The VOT XX MVLT XXX votive legend marks the twentieth anniversary of Constans's rule — calculated from his appointment as Caesar in 333, not his elevation to Augustus in 337. That distinction mattered politically, as Constans was the youngest of Constantine I's sons to survive the dynastic massacre of 337 and needed every scrap of legitimacy his coinage could project. The Antioch mint struck multiple officina variants of this type, catalogued under RIC VIII 115, with workshop letters visible in the field.
At 0.6g, this falls at the lightest end of the reduced follis flans circulating after the reforms of the mid-340s.
