Commentary
Suite à la restauration de la monnaie, nous pouvons désormais corriger le classement de Vincent Drost puisque nous voyons que la monnaie provient de l’atelier de Londres et non de Trêves.
Following the restoration of the coin, we can now correct Vincent Drost's classification since we see that the coin comes from the London mint and not from Trier

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.
