The BEATA TRANQUILLITAS ("blessed tranquility") votive series was introduced around 321 as part of Constantine I's coordinated propaganda campaign across western mints, with Lugdunum — modern Lyon — among the first workshops to produce it. Constantine II was at this point a child caesar, barely four years old; his name on the coin is dynastic positioning, not administrative authority. The globus on the altar references the quinquennalia vows, tied to the five-year anniversary of his elevation.
RIC VII 148 places this among the first Lugdunum type, distinguished by specific officina marks and reverse field details that later emissions altered.
