RIC VII 556 belongs to a reform emission from Trier issued after Constantine reorganized the GLORIA EXERCITVS type in 333, reducing the standard from two standards to one — a subtle demotion in the symbolic weight of the military propaganda these coins had been carrying since around 330. The palm branch in the field is the Trier mint's specific addition, a workshop marker that distinguishes this emission within the broader imperial coinage of the period.
Constantine II was at this point a Caesar, not yet Augustus, governing Gaul under his father's authority.
