| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed, diademed bust of Constantine II as Caesar facing right, with the gaze directed upward in the heroic manner characteristic of Constantinian dynastic portraiture. The effigy displays youthful features with finely rendered wavy hair secured by a plain diadem, the ends of which fall behind the neck. The truncation of the bust is visible at the lower edge of the flan, with a beaded border encircling the entire obverse field. No obverse legend appears on this issue, the identification of the Caesar being confined to the reverse inscription. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Constantine II received the title Caesar in 317 at roughly one year old, making him one of the youngest holders of that rank in Roman history. The Nicomedia mint was among the most active eastern facilities of the period, operating under close imperial supervision as Constantine consolidated control following the defeat of Licinius in 324 — the very campaign that ended the last serious rival to sole rule over a unified empire. These solidi were struck almost immediately after that consolidation, placing this issue squarely in the reorganization of the eastern mints.
