| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field features the votive inscription VOT X arranged within two lines inside an elaborately tied laurel wreath, commemorating the decennial vows of Crispus as Caesar. The wreath, depicted with fine detailed leaves bound at the base, frames the votive text as a symbol of dynastic celebration and imperial continuity. The surrounding circular legend CAESARVM NOSTRORVM, reading 'Of our Caesars,' runs along the outer border. The mint mark AQS in the exergue identifies this piece as a product of the second officina at Aquileia. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Crispus, eldest son of Constantine I, was elevated to Caesar in 317 AD and proved a genuinely capable commander — his naval victory over Licinius at the Battle of the Hellespont in 324 was decisive in consolidating his father's control over the entire empire. The VOT X vow inscription on this issue anticipates the tenth anniversary of his Caesarship, placing production in a period of apparent dynastic confidence. That confidence collapsed entirely in 326 when Constantine had Crispus executed at Pola under circumstances that ancient sources never fully explained, triggering a systematic damnatio memoriae that makes any Crispus coinage a document of an abruptly erased career.
