Beschrijving voorzijde Bare laureate head of Constantine II as Caesar facing right, with finely rendered hair beneath the laurel wreath and a plain truncation at the neck. The portrait is executed in the characteristic Constantinian workshop style, with a youthful but authoritative profile. The circular legend is divided by the portrait and reads CONSTAN-TINVS AVG, arranged around the periphery within a beaded border.

Aanvullende informatie

Constantine II received the title Caesar in 317 at roughly eighteen months old, making him one of the youngest recipients of that rank in imperial history. The PROVIDENTIAE AVGG coinage — invoking the foresight of the emperors, plural — was a deliberate propaganda exercise tying the young Caesar's legitimacy to his father Constantine I, both men named in the abbreviated genitive. Trier's mint was among the most productive in the western empire at this point, supplying the Rhine frontier armies with a steady bronze supply.
