| Beschrijving keerzijde | Sol Invictus depicted standing facing left, nude save for a chlamys draped over the left shoulder, his right hand raised in salutation and his left hand holding a globe, symbolising dominion over the world. A radiate crown surmounts his head. The field is divided by the control marks C (left) and S (right), flanking the figure. The circumferential legend SOLI INVICTO COMITI encircles the type, and the exergue bears the mint mark TARL, identifying the third officina of the Arelate mint. The composition closely follows the canonical Sol type widely adopted across Constantinian mints in this period. |

RIC VII 150 belongs to a brief window at Arelate (modern Arles) when Constantine was consolidating sole control of the western provinces following his defeat of Maxentius at the Milvian Bridge in 312. The Sol Invictus coinage remained politically useful throughout the 310s — Constantine had not yet committed exclusively to Christian patronage, and the unconquered sun offered a theologically flexible image acceptable to a mixed court.
The C S officina mark places this among the later Arelate strikes of the type before the mint shifted focus during the Licinian conflicts of 318–320.
