| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, cuirassed bust of Constantine I facing right, rendered in high relief with finely detailed imperial armor visible at the truncation. The laurel wreath is rendered with characteristic early Constantinian style, with individual leaves clearly articulated. The emperor's strong profile displays a prominent jaw and aquiline nose typical of official portraiture of this period. The encircling legend IMP CONSTANTINVS P AVG runs clockwise around the periphery in bold, well-spaced Latin capitals. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The SOLI INVICTO COMITI coinage of Constantine I reflects a transitional moment in imperial religious policy — the emperor had issued the Edict of Milan in 313, extending tolerance to Christians, yet continued to produce coins honoring the Unconquered Sun, a cult he would not formally abandon until later in his reign. Whether this represents genuine syncretism or deliberate political hedging remains debated among scholars. The London mint, one of the westernmost Roman production centers, was active for only a few more years before Constantine ordered its closure around 325.
