| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing laureate and cuirassed bust of Constantine I in his capacity as Caesar, rendered with fine detail characteristic of the London mint's early fourth-century output. The laureate wreath is prominently modelled, with individual berries clearly articulated above the brow. The cuirass is depicted with carefully engraved pteryges at the shoulder, conveying the subject's military identity. The surrounding Latin legend, reading clockwise from lower left, identifies the subject by his full titulature as nobilissimus Caesar. The flan shows slight irregularity at the edges, typical of hammered production at Londinium circa AD 307. |

In 307, Constantius I had been dead for less than a year, and his son Constantine was consolidating a claim to power that Galerius refused to recognize as more than Caesar — hence the titulature on this issue. The London mint, reactivated under Constantius in the 290s as part of Diocletian's monetary reforms, was operating squarely within the western sphere Constantine controlled after his father's death at Eboracum.
RIC VI 94 from Londinium is among the earlier London issues of Constantine's long reign, struck before the political situation resolved into outright civil war.
