| Beschrijving keerzijde | Within a laurel wreath tied at the base with a decorative bow, the votive inscription VOT V is displayed in two lines across the field, commemorating the fulfillment of vows taken at the fifth anniversary of Constantine II's elevation as Caesar. The encircling legend CAESARVM NOSTRORVM — 'of our Caesars' — runs around the wreath in Latin capitals. The mint mark TSBVI appears in the exergue below the wreath, denoting the Thessalonica mint, second officina. A beaded border frames the entire reverse design. |

Struck at Thessalonica during a period when Constantine I was actively grooming his sons as future co-rulers, this votive issue commemorates Constantine II's completion of five years as Caesar — a rank he had held since 317 AD when he was less than a year old. The VOT V formula was not merely ceremonial; votive coinage tied the legitimacy of junior rulers to the religious obligations of the imperial college, making the mint's output politically functional rather than incidental. Thessalonica's workshop was among the more prolific in the Balkans during this period, and RIC VII 120 is well-documented across multiple officina marks.
