Note - #208 is a bronze multiple (medallion). It is
9.63g and the reverse is the same type, but the shield is inscribed VOT | IS |
PR. Dr. Bruun, on p. 181 states in the footnotes:
"The date is hard to assess. The absence of specified vota (VOT X MVL
XX) as on the gold multiple of Ticinum #25 suggests that this piece was struck
before or after the decennalia, and thus it is natural to connect it with
the bronze series of corresponding rev. Published by A. Alfoldi, Acta
Arc. 5, p. 100, who propounded a date immediate after the battle of the
Milvian Bridge."

Constantine I, Billon Argenteus, 310-313, Trier, Officina 1
IMP CONSTANTI_NVS AVG
High-crested helmet, two pellets in crossbar and pellets in both helmet fields, draped, cuirassed, bust left, spear
in right hand over shoulder, mappa in left
VICTORIAE LAETAE PRINC PERP
Two Victories, standing facing each other, inscribing shield with VOT | PR set on altar with box design
PTR in exergue
17mm x 18mm, 3.46g
RIC VI -- (cf. RIC VII, 208a (R3))
Ex Barry Murphy, CICF, April 2008
Note: RIC describes this coin as an AE Folles (or AE3), however, this series coincides with other series from other
mints, where Constantine introduced a billon argenteus denomination. Both the
AE3 module and AR argenteus will be listed under the same RIC number, even
though this issue begins this reverse type and was actually minted in
310-313 and should have appeared in RIC VI with the other billon argentei
issues of Licinius I and Maximinus II.
