| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays the votive legend VOT XX inscribed in two lines within a laurel wreath, the branches tied at the base with a decorative knot. Below the wreath, in the exergue, appears the Thessalonica mint mark, reading TSAVI, TSΓVI, or TSЄVI according to officina, denoting the 1st, 3rd, or 5th workshop respectively. A crescent or dot may appear beneath the VOT XX inscription within the wreath on certain specimens. The surrounding field legend D N CONSTANTINI MAX AVG runs along the outer periphery within a beaded border, proclaiming Constantine as supreme lord and greatest emperor. This votive reverse type commemorates the vicennalia, the twentieth anniversary of Constantine's reign. |

RIC VII 117 from Thessalonica falls within Constantine's post-Licinius propaganda push, when the eastern mints were being systematically brought to heel following the conflicts of 316–317. Thessalonica had only recently been ceded to Constantine under the terms of that settlement, and the mint's output in this period reflects an abrupt shift in titulature as Constantine consolidated the D N ("Dominus Noster") formula — a form of address borrowed from the Dominate tradition and increasingly favored to project autocratic authority over the old Tetrarchic collegial style.
