Constantine II- Three moneta

[Gundobad]

I bought this coin some time ago and have tried to find another example. There are no examples in pro Coin Archives or VCoins and I have not seen another. Can anyone locate another picture for this type? I think it is from Trier after 335 AD. It is listed in Cohen at 20 Francs.

The obverse is rough but the reverse is nice.

1.7 g, 16.3 mm.

OBV.: Constantine II right, cuirassed bust, CONSTANTINVS IVN NOB C.

REV.: Three monetae, ,each holding a balance and a cornucopia, VBERTAS SAECVLI, STR in exergue.

This coin is listed in Zschucke in "Die Bronze-Teilstuck Pragungen der romischen Munzstatte Trier" for Constantine I, Crispus and Constantine II, but it only shows examples for Constantine I, which I have attached below. It is RIC VII Trier 336, though there is an inconsistency with the bust description- it is listed as B1(laureate head only) but in the footnote it states that chest of obv. bust is visible. Bruun dated this coin to A.D. 321- 322. Zschucke also dates them to the same time. This seems right as it would coincide with the quinquennial of Crispus and Constantine II and explain the rarity of this issue.

Thanks for the information. It is helpful and more than I had access to.
