| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Constantine I facing right, rendered in the imperial military style characteristic of the Constantinian period. The laureate wreath is clearly visible atop the emperor's head, with drapery and armour indicated at the shoulder. The obverse legend runs clockwise around the bust, partially visible on the flan. The portrait exhibits the strong, idealized features associated with official Constantinian coinage from the Arelatum mint. |

RIC VII 216 belongs to the Arles mint's output during a period of outward cooperation between Constantine I and Licinius that was, in practice, already collapsing. The two emperors had divided the empire after the defeat of Maximinus Daia in 313, but by 316 they had already fought one war. The coins of 320–321 were struck in the uneasy interlude before Constantine moved decisively against Licinius in 324, ending shared rule permanently.
The Arles mint — Arelate — had been elevated by Constantine himself, who refounded the city around 306–313 as a western administrative hub, in part to reduce dependence on Trier.
