| Beschrijving keerzijde | A camp gate with two battlemented turrets is depicted facing forward, with no doors visible at the base and five or six courses of dressed stone rendered in fine relief. A single star appears in the open field above the gate, symbolising divine favour and imperial protection. An officina letter is situated in the left field, identifying the workshop responsible for production. The mint mark appears in the exergue below the ground line. The reverse type, emblematic of Roman military strength and frontier defence, was a common motif employed across multiple Constantinian mints during this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The PROVIDENTIAE CAESS reverse type was introduced across multiple mints beginning around 324 to celebrate Constantine's sons as Caesars and the divine providence guaranteeing their succession — a deliberate dynastic message following Constantine's elimination of Licinius. The Constantinopolis mint was itself brand new, formally inaugurated in 330 but operating in preparatory capacity from around 326, making these among the earliest coins struck at a facility Constantine built specifically to rival Rome.
