Commento
Poids très lourd. Semble complètement inédit et non répertorié avec ce type de buste qui ne semble pas diadémé, mais seulement lauré. Type de légende de droit inhabituelle pour ce type monétaire. Cette légende était normalement réservée à Constantin Ier avant sa mort entre 330 et 337. Constantin II a hérité du titre de Maximus à la mort de son père car il est le fils aîné survivant, titre qui lui sera d’ailleurs disputé par Constans, son frère cadet.
Very heavy weight. Seems to be completely new and unrecorded with this type of bust which does not appear to be diademed, but only laureate. An unusual type of legal legend for this type of coin. This legend was normally reserved for Constantine I before his death between 330 and 337. Constantine II inherited the title of Maximus upon his father's death as he was the eldest surviving son, a title which would later be disputed by his younger brother, Constans.
