| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Licinius II as Caesar facing left, rendered in the late Roman imperial style with finely striated hair beneath the laurel wreath. The bust shows the paludamentum fastened at the right shoulder over the segmented cuirass. The encircling Latin legend reads LICINIVS IVN NOB CAES, identifying the junior emperor as Noble Caesar. The portrait exhibits the characteristic simplified, somewhat formulaic workmanship typical of the Thessalonica mint in the early 320s. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Licinius II was elevated to Caesar in 317 as part of the peace agreement between his father Licinius I and Constantine I — a settlement that temporarily halted civil war but satisfied neither side. By 320, the relationship had collapsed entirely, and Licinius I was actively dismantling Christian privileges in his eastern territories while Constantine used the persecution as political justification for renewed conflict. Coins struck at Thessalonica in this period exist in a mint caught between the two emperors' zones of control, the city itself having changed hands during the 316–317 campaign.
RIC VII #119 is assigned to the second officina at Thessalonica based on its mintmark.
