RIC 291 and 294 (for possible prototype). An attractive piece with a lovely rendering of the emperor's drapery. Very light doubling on the obverse, otherwise, extremely fine. From the collection of Dr. L. Ramskold, formed since 1969. This is a mule, with an obverse for Constantine II and a reverse for Constantine I.
