| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing bust of the usurper emperor Constantinus III, rendered in the late antique imperial tradition, wearing a pearl diadem, draped paludamentum, and cuirass. The effigy displays finely engraved hair arranged in rows of pearls or beads around the diadem, with a naturalistic facial profile characteristic of Treveri workshop production. The legend encircles the bust within the coin's field, reading from left to right. The overall style reflects the conventions of early fifth-century Western Roman imperial portraiture, combining military gravitas with ceremonial regalia. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Constantinus III was a common soldier elevated to Augustus by mutinous troops in Britain in 407, who then crossed to Gaul and seized Trier — making this solidus the product of a usurper who briefly controlled more of the Western Empire than the legitimate court at Ravenna. He even managed to extract formal recognition from Honorius in 409, which makes his coinage technically legitimate for at least part of this issue's date range.
His execution came in 411 after Honorius withdrew recognition and the general Constantius besieged Arles. Trier itself was sacked by Franks during this same period of instability.
