| Beschrijving keerzijde | Votive inscription CAESARVM NOSTRORVM VOT X arranged on two lines within a laurel wreath tied at the base, celebrating the tenth-year vow renewal of the Caesars. The wreath is rendered with carefully detailed leaves. A mint mark appears in the exergue, with additional workshop notations flanking the legend. The overall composition is typical of the Constantinian votive series issued across multiple mints. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Crispus, Constantine's eldest son by his concubine Minervina, was elevated to Caesar in 317 and spent the early 320s commanding the Rhine frontier with considerable success — most notably the naval engagement on the Hellespont in 324 that effectively broke Licinius's fleet. The VOT X vows celebrated here anticipated a decade of rule that never materialized. In 326, Constantine ordered Crispus executed at Pola; the reasons remain historically opaque, with ancient sources offering rumors of adultery with his stepmother Fausta rather than documented conspiracy. His name was subsequently struck from inscriptions across the empire.
