Description: | A copper-alloy nummus of Constantine II as Caesar, dating to the period AD 321-323 (Reece period 16). BEATA TRANQVILLITAS reverse depicting a globe on an altar inscribed 'VOTIS XX', with three stars above. Mint of Lyon.This coin is unlisted in RIC but contains most elements of both nos. 148 and 188 (Vol. VII, pp. 132-133). The division of the legend on the reverse altar, 'VO/TIS/XX', is as the AD 321 issue (no. 148); however, the break in the reverse legend, BEATA TRAN-QVILLITAS, does not occur on the 321 issue but is listed for the 322-323 coin (no. 188). The position of the three stars on the reverse is also noteworthy, being unusually low in comparison to the legend.Diameter: 18.8mm; thickness: 1.8mm. Weight: 2.58g.
