Commentary
Cet exemplaire, suite à sa restauration, peut-être finalement classé différemment que dans l’étude de Vincent Drost dans Trésors Monétaires. On lit clairement le “N” en fin de légende de revers.
This example, following its restoration, may ultimately be classified differently than in Vincent Drost's study in Trésors Monétaires. The “N” can be clearly read at the end of the reverse legend.

Historical background
CONSTANTINE I THE GREAT
(07/25/306-05/22/337)
Augustus
Constantine was born in 274, son of Constance Chlore and Helena. He was named Caesar on the death of his father on July 25, 306 and was proclaimed august on December 25, 307. He married Fausta, the daughter of Maximien Hercule, who gave him five children, three of whom were augusts. The first twenty years of his reign are devoted to imposing himself as the main august against Maximian Hercules, Galerius, Maxentius, Maximin II and Licinius. He is recognized as the first Christian emperor, although baptized only on his deathbed on May 22, 337.
