| Reverse description | A votive altar, inscribed VOTIS XX, surmounted by a globe or goblet flanked by three stars, centred in the field. The mint officina letter C appears to the left of the altar and R to the right, serving as workshop control marks. The exergue bears the mint signature PLC, denoting the third officina of the Lugdunum mint. The reverse legend BEATA TRANQVILLITAS — meaning 'Blessed Tranquility' — encircles the entire design, a type commonly struck at multiple western mints during the joint reign of Constantine I and his sons circa 321–323. |
