Struck at Londinium within a year of the Edict of Milan, this issue belongs to a transitional moment when Constantine was still publicly committed to Sol Invictus as his divine patron — despite the religious accommodations he had just extended to Christians. The PLN mintmark places it in the first officina at London, one of the westernmost mints in the empire at the time.
RIC VII 13 is not a scarce type, but London mint bronzes from this precise window — before the mint's closure under uncertain circumstances around 325 AD — carry genuine geographic interest.
